Alex Collins loves two things: understanding how people think and creating magical worlds where anything is possible. As a psychology professor, she spends her days helping students learn and grow. As an author, she fills pages with dragons, brave heroes, hidden magic, and unforgettable adventures.Alex enjoys reading fantasy, thrillers, and historical fiction, visiting Disneyland, and spending time near the ocean whenever she can. She believes stories help us build courage, kindness, and imagination, and she hopes her books inspire young readers to dream big and believe in themselves.She lives in Arizona with her family and a growing collection of story ideas waiting to become books.
