Alexia Muelle-Rushbrook was born and raised as a farmer's daughter in rural Suffolk, UK. Having spent her life as a stockperson, horse stud hand, and now dog breeder, she has always had a passion for the natural world and an interest in genetics.

​

For many years Alexia thought of writing a novel and was encouraged to do so by her husband, but time and self-doubt got in the way. Finally, aged 37, having been inspired by the foibles, cheek, and charm of her terriers, she began writing poetry championing them. Although Alexia’s novels are unconnected to her poetry collection, receiving positive feedback for it gave her the push she needed to stop saying, 'I can't', resulting in the completion of her debut dystopian novel, The Minority Rule. 

​

A self-confessed geek, she enjoys a variety of genres, but has always been drawn towards sci-fi and fantasy, so it is probably not surprising that her debut novel is dystopian!

Having found the courage to put pen to paper, Alexia now has no plans to stop - the voices in her head simply won't let her, but they also refuse to stick to one genre, so stay tuned to see what genre-bending novel is coming next!
