Within ten days of publishing her first full length novel on Amazon Kindle, Croydon writer, mother and hairdresser, 26 year old Alexandra Dimmock is getting 5 star reviews comparing her work to Philip Pullman’s Dark Materials and the Twilight series by Stephanie Meyer.

Alexandra finished the first book of her planned trilogy in only 11 months, writing long into the night as her family slept. As she says, the 'only time she can truly call her own'.

The book is a fantasy adventure thriller centred on the three main characters; Beckwith Mila and Dillan and the love that unites two and sidelines the third, with terrible consequences.

The Collective is a story of the three’s involvement in a struggle for power extending across the realms of Isirisus and Laanwa, and how their unhappy love triangle affects the fate of the world.

Alexandra’s writing style is described as intriguing and edgy, yet easy to read. And impossible to put down. Details at www.alexandradimmock.co.uk Based on information supplied by Chris Girling,.
