Welcome to the award-winning The Hill Country Authors Podcast. In this podcast, I visit with authors who live in and write up the Texas Hill Country. Today I visit with author Skye Alexander, a prolific author whose most recent series features protagonist Lizzie Crane and is set in the Jazz Age in New England and New York.
Alexander is the author of a mystery series set in New York City in the mid-1920s. Her main character, Lizzie Crane, is an Irish immigrant striving to rise above her working-class background. Alexander has heavily researched her series, setting the first four books in New England and the fifth and sixth books in New York City. Skye has written nearly 50 books and many more magazine articles. She does extensive research for her books and considers herself “not a morning person.” She is heavily involved with the Friends of Kerrville Library. Her third book in the Lizzie Crane series will be released in August.
