Part I of our Double Feather: Author Alexandria Infante

We highlighted Kelly Parra yesterday for being Latina, but what's even rarer for us to find in the publishing industry, are Afro-Latinas penning paranormal/SFF books. So we'd love to introduce one to everyone!

1. Why don't you tell us more about yourself as a person, as well as an author?

I’m from California born and raised; however I have traveled a bit in my life. I started out as a chef, and held onto that career for 15-years, but I knew it was not what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. Not to mention I developed bursitis in my right shoulder.  I have a master’s in English Literature/Art History; with a Minor in Mythology and History. I do in home teaching as well as being a tutor. I have taught every subject in between, except math lol.

I has five amazing children; Matthew 26, Blazhia 24, Soleil 21, Micah 17 and Sora 11. Matthew, Blazhia and Soleil are in college; so I spend most of my time with Micah and Sora when I’m not writing. I’ve always loved vampires, werewolves, witches, and the things that go bump in the night; and it just rocks my boat to be able to write about them. I remember I was obsessed with Laurell K way back when, and read everything she wrote; until one day I was like, “I can so do this,” lol, and the rest is history as they say 22 books later.

Have you been catching up?

Well @Twinja Book Reviews, we have another full week of authors chiming in on their take on diversity in the industry, as well as showing different sides to themselves outside of being "The Author!"

Many are sending off you readers with their books! Wouldn't you love to win Ellen Oh's or Toffany Trent's book bundle? We know we would!
