About

Alex Tobalin is a woman of many roles—mother. writer. housekeeper. cook. interior designer. etc.—but doesn’t confine herself to a single space or title. When she’s not chasing children around her semi-clean, never perfect, house, she’s jotting down notes for characters, stories, dialogue on her notes app or on the back of receipts. She’s fascinated by the daily habits of strangers and gets her best ideas from people-watching and hearing others’ stories. Currently, she’s in the revision stage of her debut contemporary fiction novel—title and publication date TBD.
