- Hometown:
- Berkeley, CA
- About Me:
- I'm a California native and a graduate of U.C. Berkeley, where I majored in theater and minored in everything that Berkeley has a reputation for. After college I moved to Los Angeles, where I have made an interesting living doing novel adaptations and selling original suspense and horror scripts to various Hollywood studios, and have had one film made so far: an adaptation of German novelist Sabine Deitmer's thriller, COLD KISSES. My debut ghost story, THE HARROWING, was nominated for the Bram Stoker award and Anthony ward for for First Novel. My second supernatural thriller, THE PRICE, was called "some of the most original and freshly unnerving work in the genre" by the New York Times Book Review, and my third spooky thriller, THE UNSEEN, is just out from St. Martin's Press. I'm a former member of the Board of Directors of the Writers Guild of America, west and a current member of the Board of the Mystery Writers of America. I teach workshops and blog extensively on screenwriting techniques for authors on my blog at http://alexandrasokoloff.com . Next to writing I love dance more than breathing: jazz, ballet, salsa, Lindy, swing - I do it all, every chance I get.

So yes, one resolution is to keep up this blog better than I have been, or at least post links to the blogs I do at Murderati, Storytellers Unplugged, and MUSE.
This is the round up. Um… catch up:

Masters of the Craft (World Horror, Part II)
Writing conventions are always invaluable on so many levels it’s hard to quantify. But there’s often, or maybe always, one particular thing that happens that is worth the whole cost and effort of attending – that may actually cause a paradigm shift in the way you approach your writing and/or your career.
I was at the World Horror Convention in Toronto last weekend and for me that life-altering event was the “Masters of the Craft” panel,… Continue

Let's talk about... gender (cross-posted from Murderati.com)
Maybe I’ve been thinking about gender and writing because there have been some little mini-explosions on the subject on several
listserves/message boards I’m on. Some writers right here on Crimespace challenging a
list of favorite mystery authors because there were practically no
women on the list. A guy storming

- Hi Alexandra-Wondered if you'd be willing to write about a favorite "forgotten" book for my blog project in August. You can find the last three months worth at http://pattinase.blogspot.com
If it's not your thing, I understand. Thanks, Patti

- I am psyched, Karen! We'll have a blast.
And thanks, J.K. - I'm thrilled you liked THE HARROWING (and the Killerettes - we have fun.) Sorry I didn't get to talk to you at TF - I never get to see anyone at that con because of all the rehearsing we do. I love it - but I miss out, too...

Jeannie Holmes said… - Hi, Alexandra
I didn't get a chance to speak to you at ThrillerFest, but I thought THE HARROWING was great. I'm looking forward to the next one. (The Killerettes did a great job, by the way. I can't wait until next year.)
