'Sleeping with the Blackbirds', his first published work of fiction, was first published by Pen Press in 2011. It was longlisted for the Millennium Book Awards 2018 and selected by the Indie Author Project for distribution to public libraries across the US and Canada. In 2014, his short story 'Scared to Death' was published by Mardibooks in its anthology 'The Clock Struck War' to mark the centenary of the First World War. 'The Chair Man' published by Fizgig Press in 2019 is a thriller set in 2005 and is quite possibly the world's first thriller to feature a tetraplegic protagonist waging war on international terrorism. It was a Finalist in the 2021 Wishing Shelf Book Awards. During the Covid epidemic, Alex conducted a series of 100 author interviews, which he published in book form under the title '100 Ways to Write a Book.' All author proceeds are being donated to PEN International. 'A Brand to Die For' is his third work of fiction. His only other claim to fame is that he is almost certainly the only human being on this planet to have been inadvertently locked in a record shop on Christmas Eve.view less
