Alexandrina Brant

Raised on a diet of Tolkien, Doctor Who, and Agatha Christie, Alexandrina Brant grew up around the city of Oxford, and, as such, has a particular love for Oxford-based stories. After graduating from the University of Reading with joint honours in Psychology & Philosophy, she hightailed it to London to study a Master's in Linguistics at UCL, where her focus was sociolinguistics and dialect blending. Occasionally, she can still be heard quoting Ovid in English or Latin.

She currently lives in Yorkshire with her husband and two warring cats, where she gives out financial advice to construction workers during the day and daydreams about fantasy lives at night. Her short stories have been published in several local anthologies and she is working on a Steampunk novel about a linguist's journey to rescue her fiance and a Doctor-Who-esque sci fi about lesbian aliens trying to save a corrupt planet.

She is most active on Twitter - @caelestia_flora & Instagram - @lingua_fabularum
