Alma Alexander was born in the former Yugoslavia and grew up in several countries across Africa and Europe before settling in the United States. This multicultural background shows up frequently in her fiction, which draws on myths and traditions from around the world. Her breakout novel, The Secrets of Jin-shei, is set in a fantasy version of imperial China and explores the bonds between women across different social classes.
Her bibliography is large and varied. The Worldweavers series is a YA fantasy about a girl who can’t do magic in a world where everyone else can. The Were Chronicles imagines a modern society where shapeshifting is genetic, controlled by the cycles of the moon. She has also contributed dozens of stories to the Crossroad Press Ladies of Horror line, showing a darker side to her writing.
Beyond fiction, Alexander has written memoirs and essays about her life in Africa and her experiences as an immigrant writer. Her short story collections, including Untranslatable and Fractured Fairy Tales, pull together work published in various magazines and anthologies over the years.
