"It's not what you do. It's who you are and how you treat people that really matters." -Alexa
Earlier this month I spent a fun evening with this lovely debut author at an event at Village Books in Bellingham, WA.
It didn't take me long to figure out that Alexa is an outstanding human being with a lot of heart.
I am delighted to be able to share a few of her thoughts with you here.

Every child would have loving parents and great friends. No one would ever put another person down. Cute clothes from Anthropologie would be free for everyone.
