Book Description by Author:

Falling Strong is the hard hitting sequel to Stephen J. Alexander's debut novel, Made in Milan. It's June 2032, and newly-wed bride Alice Scott has been kidnapped from her beautiful new home on Lake Como. Bound, broken and transported far away from all that she knows and loves, her first thought after Nathan, is to find out why she was taken. Understanding the strange language spoken by her captors, and working out what they mean as they repeatedly use the word, "Olot" may begin to provide Alice with the answers she so desperately seeks. But, while Alice thinks she's been snatched for ransom, it soon becomes clear there's much more to this dark romantic thriller than meets the eye...

About the Author:

Hi, I'm Stephen J. Alexander. Author.

My works are:

PETER AND THE DWARF PLANETS (AUG 28, 2018) OLYMPIA PUB., UK

MADE IN MILAN (JAN 21, 2021) KDP SELECT Book 1 in Sweet Nightmares Series

FALLING STRONG (MARCH 2021) KDP SELECT Book 2 in Sweet Nightmares Series

THE DREAMS (OCTOBER 2021) KDP SELECT Book 3 in Sweet Nightmares Series

The first book of my "Sweet Nightmares Trilogy" is Made in Milan (3rd Edition). It was released as an e-book and paperback in January 2021, and tells the romantic story of a chance meeting between a young Englishman and an Italian girl. The trilogy focuses on the lifelong relationship that the couple go on to forge. But it's certainly not passion and romance all the way...

This series of multi-genre novels will take the reader on a rollercoaster ride along with two lives far from ordinary.

MADE IN MILAN, a dual narrative set mainly in October 2031, is predominantly romantic and passionate, FALLING STRONG (out soon) is much darker featuring a high profile abduction in June 2032, political intrigue and a futuristic Catalan civil war for our heroic couple to escape from. THE DREAMS, set in Los Angeles, CA, New Zealand, Northern Ireland, England, France and Switzerland in 2046, is at its core, Science-Fiction. Our heroic couple, faced with a huge existential dilemma, go in search of and eventually meet their maker.

I hope you like my work...
