Appearing Thu,Fri,Sat,Sun

Iranian-American author and recording artist Alexandra Monir has published five novels for young adults, including her popular debut, Timeless. A Barnes & Noble bestseller and one of Amazon’s “Best Books of the Month,” Timeless and its sequel, Timekeeper have been featured in numerous media outlets and published in different countries around the world. She followed the duology with Suspicion and The Girl in the Picture, both standalone YA thrillers. Her latest novel, THE FINAL SIX, was acquired by HarperCollins and Sony Pictures on the same week, in two major preemptive deals. Publishing in March 2018, THE FINAL SIX imagines a present-day world under a coalition between the United Nations and the international space agencies, with a plot to send a team of six teenagers to create the first human settlement on Jupiter’s moon, Europa. The action-packed story addresses the themes of space travel, climate change, global unity, and competition.

Alexandra is also a singer/songwriter who often integrates music into her books’ pages. She wrote and recorded three original songs to accompany Timeless and Timekeeper, which were released as the album The Timeless EP and distributed by Jimmy Buffett's record label, Mailboat Records. She also recorded a song that was released with the publication of Suspicion, and is composing a stage musical geared toward Broadway. Her musical roots are deep, as she is the granddaughter of the late Monir Vakili, the foremost Iranian opera singer.

Alexandra Monir is a frequent speaker at middle schools and high schools across the country and at major events including fan conventions, women’s leadership conferences, and book festivals. She lives in Los Angeles with her husband and newborn son.
