'I was born to be a storyteller. Even my dreams have a full cast of characters and a twist in the tail.'
Background
Information
I am a Kenyan-born novelist, scriptwriter and Internet technologist. I am also deeply involved in theatre and I have written several plays, including 'Hannah and the Angel' and 'The Stacy Walker Interview'.
I was born on 23rd April which, by a happy coincidence, is also William Shakespeare's birthday (he was born on 23rd April, 1564)! From a young age, I was a voracious reader of books but it wasn't until our high school English teacher told her other students, 'I wish you you could all write the way Alexander does!' that I decided to become a career writer.
In 2001, I became Africa's first e-novelist with the publication of 'When the Whirlwind Passes', a crime/suspense novel. Since then, I have penned plays, poems, short stories, novels and song lyrics. My writings are available English, Japanese, Arabic and Swedish.
Accomplishments
The whodunnit, 'When The Whirlwind Passes', remains Kenya's most-downloaded e-novel.
My poems have been published by major newspapers and in a poetry anthology.
Nominated for Douglas Coupland Short Story Award in 2004 for 'Life as a Flower'
Winner of a Theatre Company prize for the comedic stage play, 'Hannah and the Angel
Double-shortlisted for 'Rock and Republic' and 'A Cold Day in December' in the Kwani?-organised writing competition themed 'The Kenya I Live In' (2009)
