Alexandra Turney grew up in London and studied English Literature at the University of Oxford. Her love of Romantic poets (and pasta) inspired her to move to Rome, where she has lived since 2013. She works as an English teacher and freelance writer. In Exile is her first novel.

Thank you again to everyone who's already bought a copy! I hope you enjoy it. I know it won't be everyone's cup of tea - my grandmother was shocked and said "Alex seems such a cheerful person mostly" - but I hope I've got a readership out there somewhere.

Once you've read it it, I would really, really appreciate a short Amazon/Goodreads review (preferably positive, though they say bad reviews are b Read more of this blog post »

“How I envy those clerks who go by to their offices in the morning! There's the day's work cut out for them; no question of mood and feeling; they have just to work at something, and when the evening comes, they have earned their wages, and they are free to rest and enjoy themselves. What an insane thing it is to make literature one's only means of support! When the most trivial accident may at any time prove fatal to one's power of work for weeks or months. No, that is the unpardonable sin! To make a trade of an art! I am rightly served for attempting such a brutal folly.”
