[edit] Biography

Alexandra Sellers became interested in exotic locations when she was 10 and read The Arabian Nights. The book inspired her to begin writing, and she penned her first story, a fictionalized account of the life of her cat from the cat's perspective, soon after. When she reached adulthood, Sellers wrote a romantic short story and a science fiction novel. The short story sold immediately, but the science fiction novel was rejected by the first publisher who received it. Sellers took this as a sign to concentrate on the romance genre.[1]

Her first romantic novel was published in 1980, and Sellers became a full-time writer. Many of her novels are set in exotic locations, some of them fictional countries.[1] Romantic Times has described her novels as "enchanting...superbly integrating a memorable plot, delightful characters, and tender emotion."[2]

In 1997, her novel A Nice Girl Like You was nominated by Romantic Times for a Reviewer's Choice Award for Best Silhouette Yours Truly.[3] Three years later she received the Romantic Times Career Achievement Award for Series Romantic Fantasy.[4]

Sellers has studied eight foreign languages. She attended the School of Oriental and African Studies in London, becoming the first student to be awarded a double degree in Persian and Religious Studies.[1]

Alexandra lives with her husband, Nick.
