Alexandra Nica

Alexandra Nica was born and raised in Chicago as the dramatic only child of dramatic, Romanian-immigrant, only children. Saddled with robust familial pressure, an expressive temperament, and a name meaning “defender of men” and “victory,” there was really only one path that made sense for her: becoming a Navy JAG working in criminal justice. After a decade of whirlwind worldwide adventures, including three years in Japan and becoming a Krav Maga instructor, Alexandra now lives in Seattle with her husband and two dogs. She escapes her litigation day-job by writing books in her favorite genre (contemporary fantasy), set in her hometown (Chicago). Her stories combine world mythology with kick-ass fight scenes, and tackle themes of feeling “othered” and belonging in a supernatural world.
