Interview with Novelist Alexandra Engellmann (Sky Ghosts series)

Alexandra Engellmann never planned to become a writer. When at 18 years old she got an idea for a book, she was working as a tech support supervisor for a big dating site. Five years later, the book became all she could think about, and she left her day job, scarred for life.
