I began writing when I was still at school. My first published pieces were articles about nature conservation and the preservation of cultural heritage. Stories and poems followed, and in 1994 my first romantic adventure book appeared in a small edition. I inherited my love of reading and writing from my mother. It has stayed with me ever since.

I write romantic suspense and science fiction, including space opera. Across MANGO and The Consent Chronicles, I return to the moment when someone must make a choice without knowing what it will cost. The settings change; my interest in trust, freedom, love, and the right to choose remains.

MANGO is a romantic suspense novel about loss, stolen identities, and dangerous second chances. The Consent Chronicles explores memory, identity, and autonomy across three connected novels: More Than the Past, More Than Power, and More Than Time.

The Consent Chronicles

Space opera about memory, freedom, and the right to choose.

What remains of freedom when someone else can decide what you remember, what happens to your body, and which choices count as yours?

The Consent Chronicles follows a search for identity into a struggle over the right to determine another person's future. A man wakes without his past. An unexplained death opens a trail of dangerous discoveries. As the story widens across inhabited systems, rescue and protection become entangled with power, and the people caught between them must decide whom they can trust.

Across three novels, Alex Newman brings together the scale of space opera and the intimacy of choices that cannot be made for someone else. Memory, loyalty, love, and bodily autonomy are tested in a universe where survival does not necessarily mean freedom. The battles matter, but so does the quieter question beneath them: when does helping someone become a way of controlling them?

Read in order: More Than the Past, More Than Power, and More Than Time. The three books form one continuous story.

For two years, another woman's story has been unfolding at my writing desk. I'm close to finishing that novel now. I'll share more when it's ready.
