After leaving school she trained as a primary teacher at Bishop Grosseteste College in Lincoln, where she was encouraged both to develop her own creativity and to make the most of it in her teaching. She currently lives in North Lincolnshire with her husband and two children and teaches full-time at a local junior school.Imagined worlds have been a huge part of Alex’s life ever since she can remember and, although her days are spent at the chalkface, after her own children are in bed, most evenings she can be found somewhere in the Five Lands.view less
