Timeless and its sequel, Timekeeper, have been featured in numerous media outlets and been
published in different countries around the world. She followed the series with
Suspicion and The Girl in the Picture, both standalone YA thrillers. Her new
science fiction novel, THE FINAL SIX, was acquired by HarperCollins and Sony

Alexandra is also a singer/songwriter who often integrates music into her books’
pages. She wrote and recorded three original songs to accompany Timeless and
Timekeeper, which were released as the album The Timeless EP and distributed by
Jimmy Buffett’s record label, Mailboat Records. She also recorded a song that was
released with the publication of Suspicion, and has composed and developed
musicals for the stage. Her musical roots are deep, as she is the granddaughter of
the late Monir Vakili, the foremost Iranian opera singer, and the daughter of
singer/songwriter ZaZa.
