about frankie
Frankie Alexander writes sapphic fiction about identity, belonging, and love.
Her novels follow women who appear to have everything under control, yet quietly find themselves questioning the lives they've built and the people they've become. Drawn from different worlds and shaped by different experiences, her characters are united by a search for somewhere and someone that feels like home.
She's interested in the moments that change us almost without us noticing: when someone understands us more completely than we expected, when a relationship asks us to let go of an old version of ourselves, or when we realise that belonging starts with being honest about who we are.
Set against vividly realised places where landscape, memory, and community become part of the story, her fiction is known for emotionally nuanced characters, understated prose, and romances that unfold with patience, warmth, and emotional depth.
At its heart, her work is about finding the courage to be seen, and discovering that love can sometimes bring us closer to ourselves than we ever thought possible.
