Alexandra Walsh is a bestselling historical mystery and general historical fiction author best known for the “Marquess House Trilogy.”
Before she became an author, she worked for more than 25 years as a journalist, as she wrote and edited for many national magazines and newspapers. Walsh has also worked as an associate director and producer in television, had a brief stint in radio, and also wrote film and television scripts.
In 2019, she combined her twin passions of fiction and history when she published “The Catherine Howard Conspiracy,” which was the debut of the “Marquess House Saga” conspiracy thrillers, with a setting in Tudor England.
Alexandra also pens dual timeline novels which are all about Victorian women and their lives, which she connects to 21st-century characters. She now has at least half a dozen works of fiction and some of her works have been translated into Slovak.

When Alexandra Walsh was a kid, she used to tell all manner of talkies to her teddies, mostly about mermaids before she graduated to writing, film scripts and novels. As such, it was not surprising that she would end up a journalist, where she spent more than twenty-five years.
She would then work in the film industry and in radio and TV presenting, advising, and researching but never once did she ever stop writing. As such, books have always and still dominate Alexandra’s life, and she often has at least three books waiting to be read.

Imagery, places, and characters tend to stay with her and even now, she often finds herself checking old wardrobes for doors to Narnia. Alexandra is also passionate about history, and especially has a liking for the untold tales of women whether they were paupers or queens.
She believes that these women’s voices resonate with their lives and their stories too. She particularly likes and has been inspired by the Tudor court women. Walsh combined her love for storytelling, mysteries, and history when she researched and published the “Marquess House” series of novels.

Even though Alexandra Walsh started as a journalist since she loved to sit and write the whole day, she always took much of her weekends and late evenings to write fiction.

She never planned on becoming a historical fiction novelist and when she began writing, she first wrote romances and comedies, even though nothing about that ever felt right. When the idea and plot for the “Marquess House Trilogy” came to her, everything changed practically overnight.

It all happened one November evening while she was watching “The Gunpowder Plot” on TV. She started thinking about what could have happened if Tudor history had been different from what it was.

She grabbed her laptop and began writing as her ideas flowed. Over several months, Alexandra did the research and made the outline of her story and found that it came together with surprising ease.

Now a fast-rising author, she still loves reading. Since she lives by the sea she also loves walking the beaches and used to do so with her Great Danes and greyhounds before they died. She also loves visiting castles, going out for a swim, theater, meeting friends, cinema, and going out for a meal.
