Oh, I also write fantasy set in a logical flat-earth universe filled with sexists, pedophiles and badass women (so, you know, just like the real world, except mine has magic and fated mates).
My editor informed me that I should make it clear that I write in BRITISH English -
Alexis Morgan
Alexis Morgan was born and raised in the beautiful rainy state of Washington. She discovered her love for reading and writing later in life—thanks to a bout of boredom while her husband was deployed overseas. Since then, books have become her passion (and, admittedly, her whole personality). When she's not curled up with a good book, accompanied by her Frenchie, Enzo, and cat, Evie, you’ll likely find her at the gym, spending time with family, or—more often than not—browsing the aisles of her favorite bookstore.

I'm a bookworm at heart and enjoy reading various genres from classics to pitch black (horror) romances. Which translates into: I have an a posteriori rating system that I use on Goodreads that's deeply personal and I rate based on category/genre/subgenre so a 5* rating for Philosophy does not equal a 5* rating for Fantasy in my book (pun intended?!)
