(from the review by Michael B Davie, author, Poetry for the Insane: The Full Mental) About the Author Alyxandra Harvey lives in an old Victorian stone house with her husband, dogs, and a few friendly ghosts. She loves medieval dresses, used to be able to recite all of The Lady of Shalott by Tennyson, and has been accused, more than once, of being born in the wrong century. She believes this to be mostly true, except for the fact that she really likes running water, women's rights, and ice cream. She also likes cinnamon lattes, tattoos and books.
