British-born A. L. Butcher is an avid reader and creator of worlds, a poet, a lover of science, natural history, history, and monkeys. Her prose has been described as ‘dark and gritty’ and her poetry as ‘evocative’. She writes with a sure and sometimes erotic sensibility of things that might have been, never were, but could be.
Alex is the author of the Light Beyond the Storm Chronicles and the Tales of Erana lyrical fantasy series. She also has several short stories in the fantasy, fantasy romance genres with occasional forays into gothic style horror, including the Legacy of the Mask series. With a background in politics, classical studies, ancient history and myth, her affinities bring an eclectic and unique flavour to her work, mixing reality and dream in alchemical proportions that bring her characters and worlds to life.
She also curates speculative fiction-themed book bundles on Pubshare – for the most part – the Here Be Series
Alex is also proud to be a writer for Perseid Press, where her work features in Heroika: Dragon Eaters, Heroika Skirmishers – for which she served as editor and cover designer – and as a contributor to Lovers in Hell, Mystics in Hell, and Monsters in Hell, part of the acclaimed Heroes in Hell series. http://www.theperseidpress.com/
