    About this ebook

    Hi, I'm Alexis. My home is in London, England.
    When I was 13, two friends and myself wrote a book.
    We took turns writing. It was very exciting finding out
    every break at school, what each of us had written
    about our heroes or heroines. I have always loved
    putting words together.
    After bringing up a family, I developed a serious,
    debilitating and painful illness.
    I don't expect you to say Ahh!. I mention it because
    it is due to that I took up writing poems and short
    stories. It has helped me to be involved in other
    things, taken me out of myself and has become
    an overwhelmingly interesting hobby.
    My aim is to give my readers poetry that appeals, in
    that it can be liked and understood by everyone.
