Tobey Alexander

Tobey Alexander writes stories from the edge of the human experience. This is a perspective shaped by twenty years in UK policing.

As the UK’s first openly AuDHD Police Chief Firearms Instructor, Tobey spent two decades managing high-stakes risk and leading specialist operations. Today, he channels that tactical brain into award-winning fiction that explores identity, masking, and the courage required to survive in a world not built for your mind.

Based in Nottingham, Tobey’s work includes the Dark Curses and Raven series. These stories blend gritty, field-tested reality with the extraordinary. Whether he is writing about 1940s London or futuristic thrillers, his characters mirror the neurodivergent experience: complex, hyper-vigilant, and fiercely resilient.

When he isn’t deep in a script or novel, he is a speaker, filmmaker, and father of three, navigating the beautiful chaos of a neuro-spicy household. He believes in story as a tool for Everyday Ease, helping others move from masking to living as their authentic selves.
