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.

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.

Editing is also really hard for me because I hate rereading things and you reread A LOT when editing.

The community was the best surprise on my indie publishing journey. I had no idea how this was going to change my life completely!

What's a non-depressing quirk from your childhood? Mine is my Christmas spreadsheet. I track who, what family they're from, my budget, what I bought, what I actually spent, and if I wrapped it. It makes my life easier.

Do you prefer fiction or nonfiction? I love learning and I love escaping and both genres help me grow!

I'm pretty sure I have a bit of SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder). I'm still able to do my work and daily chores, I just want to be a vegetable when I can. It's sun lamp season.

I prefer hugs. 🤣 And yes, I do have OCD, so no need to diagnose me in the comments. 🤣

I set up a canopy outside for trick-or-treaters and went, "Well, I did buy all those fairy lights. Might as well use some." 🤣

The fairy light saga continues. The l kind I want (and only got 1 sent correctly when I NEED 2) has been sold out everywhere.
The good news is one strand will work with a 4 foot table setup. It won't work with an even slightly bigger table.
Michael's suddenly has 2 in stock. I ordered them. 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻
