Hello sunshine

Yes. Alexandra is my middle name and Silva is my mum’s maiden name.

In 2023 our family relocated from the UK to Portugal.

Not on paper. However I was brought up in London from single digits, so I consider myself quite British.

I have many, many favourite reads. However, there are some that standout and come to mind instantly:

• The first book that I devoured as a child was The Journey to the River Sea by Eva Ibotson.
• My first foray into romance as a young adult was through Rachel Caine’s Morganville Vampires series, Hush Hush series by Becca Fitzpatrick, Fallen series by Lauren Kate, and the Blue Bloods series by Melissa de la Cruz. 

Yes, this was my Fantasy/PNR era.

• My spicy romance era started with the One Night series by Jodi Ellen Malpas—Miller Hart owns my heart! Sierra Simone is one of my go-to authors, especially her New Camelot trilogy. If you are into MMf, MfM, I highly recommend. Another trilogy I loved was Pam Godwin’s Tangled Lies. This is a must read for all my love triangle lovers! The Black Swan Affair by K.L. Kreig is another love triangle I couldn’t get enough of. If you prefer spicy and hilarious, Meghan Quinn is my run-to author, especially her Vancouver Agitators series.

If you’d like more book recs from me, I always include a couple in my newsletter.

All my books are available on Amazon and Kindle Unlimited. For signed books, you can check out my shop.

As of right now, no. However, I have had some characters talk to me, and the future is not set in stone.

Honestly, I can’t promise which side characters will or won’t get books. There are a lot of factors that go into writing the right story for the right characters. Such as how loud those characters are and my frame of mind. Sometimes writing darker stories can impact my mental health, and it stalls my creativity in that particular world.

I’ve also learnt that my stories always swerve in unexpected directions, which means I don’t want to promise something I won’t deliver. As such I won’t confirm characters and their stories until the first draft is complete.

Depends on the series and what you are reading it for—just for the romance, or the subplot too. All my books can be read as romance standalones, unless stated.

Some of my characters make cameos in each other’s books, I try not to spoil anything, however, it’s not a guarantee.

Personally, I think reading them in order is the best experience. Saying that, if one book is calling to you more than another, they are technically standalones.

The most likely answer is that I didn’t see it. There are a couple of reasons for this;

1. There’s more messages than I can keep up with.
2. I’m on a deadline, and I am not online.

I promise I’m not ignoring you on purpose!

I don’t live in the UK anymore, so it’s something I’m still working on here in Portugal. I’ve only just sort of figured out how customs works here!
