Alexandra Burt was born in the East Hesse Highlands of Germany and has lived in Texas for more than thirty years. Before turning to fiction, she worked in literary translation, fostering a lasting fascination with language, perspective, and the ways stories travel across cultures. She is the author of three novels—Remember Mia (2015), The Good Daughter (2017), and Shadow Garden (2020)—and her work has been translated into multiple languages. Writing across psychological suspense, crime fiction, and literary horror, she is drawn to questions of memory, identity, trauma, and the lingering presence of the past.
