My name is Alexander Monnar and I was born in Miami, Florida on August 21, 1991.  I love playing basketball any chance I get.  If there is a game to watch on television like the Miami Heat, or the Florida Marlins, I would rather stay home rather than go out.  I can put together any furniture that comes unassembled and fix things around my house.  I love to talk on the phone and chat online with my girlfriend and close friends.  I love to make people laugh and I am sometimes compared to Eddie Murphy.             Annoying Alex is my first illustrated children’s book.  It is a story with a moral behind it.  Some of my other stories and poems appear in Express Yourself 101 Dancing with Words Volume 1 and Express Yourself 101 For Your Eyes Only Volume 2.
