Alex Parry, first-time author and long-time writer for other people, is a small business owner, self-confessed animal-lover, horse-rider, chardonnay aficionado, sister, friend, wife and free-thinker. In her mid-forties, Alex faced the question, ‘If not now, when?’ as she leant into a long, dark night alone. Over the next few years, life took a very different direction as she explored career changes, solo travel, sexual exploration and finding her true voice. Her first book 'Well that didn't go as planned' will show you how she becomes the brave Matilda of her own life, with a little help from her friends!
