About Me

Hola!

I’m Alexandria King, a “true-true” Bahamian, raised on the island of New Providence by old-school island parents who filled my world with music, generosity, and deep-rooted compassion.

Funny enough, until grade eight, I hated books. Reading was a struggle—I dealt with undetected dyslexia, illiteracy, and the embarrassment of reading out loud. Simply put, reading and writing were not my favorite things to do. But there was this girl in my grade level who carried the Twilight book by Stephenie Meyer around like it was a heart monitor. One day, for reasons I still don’t understand, I picked it up—and everything changed.

I had always been a daydreamer, lost in my own imagination, but reading opened a door I didn’t know existed. It allowed me to step into the imagination of others. Stories stopped being intimidating and instead became a way to explore, feel, and connect. I could not get enough.

I was drawn to books about real people navigating real life—especially love and friendship. Those stories shaped me, and now, as a writer of children and young adult books, I hope to do the same for others. I want to write stories that spark the imagination and you don’t want to put down

My dreams is that my stories are not just remembered but they’re felt.
