Hi everyone, my name is Alexa Shay (she/her) and I'm an indie author. Any page I run is a safe space for anyone who isn't a hateful bigot. 🏳️🌈💙🏳️⚧️ My goal as a YA author is to be the kind of author I needed when I was a kid: encouraging and kind.

I love Bundok Books for their quirky atmosphere, Lovestruck in Seattle for their amazing shirts and pinkness, Shelf Indulgence for their warm, cozy vibes & The Dusty Shelf for taking a chance on me when I was brand new. All four are inclusive, welcoming, and indie friendly!

I need to finish listening to. 1984. I was listening to the dramatized audiobook, which is really cool. What banned book should I read after?

Do you think of authors as extroverts or introverts?
Authors are a mix of extroverts and introverts and so far, all the authors I've met are a mix of the two.

Check out Hybrid Calisthenics
Since starting a few months ago, I've gotten stronger and am in less pain. I'm working hard on getting overall healthier and this has helped.
Also my shoulders are more defined, which is a nice little bonus. 🤣 I missed that from my gym rat days.
