Alex St. Clair

Alex St. Clair hails from the Lone Star State of Texas and is the author of The Mexican Rose, Rosa Rios Suspense and Cartel Crime Thrillers in the House Of Cartels Trilogy.

Early on in public school, he discovered his deep writing skills and joined the Writer's Honor Society. But growing up as a teen, he dodged the local gangs called 'pachucos' and left Texas for a rowdy elitist and tequila-infused college prep school in Guadalajara, Mexico, always keeping a journal about the new magical world around him.

In neighboring Nayarit, he discovered the mystical Huichole Indians. Soon he and his bohemian class-mates joined the 'marakame' shamans in their annual pilgrimage to Real De Catorce for the scared 'peyote' gathering ritual. It is here that he became enlightened to the spirit world....

Ten years later, he later returned to study lingusitics at Cuahanahuac in Cuernavaca, Morelos, living with a Mexican family for one year to immerse himself in modern Mexico. This led to his fascination with Aztec and Mayan culture; he travelled through the Mayan Highlands to Palenque and the rich exotic rainforest and lush jungles for several years. It is there he fell passionately in love with the Caribbean and Yucatan where Tulum, Coba, Uxmal and Chichen Itza converge. Subsequently, he studied marine life and learned to scuba dive while practicing the local customs amongst the Mayans.

Alex St. Clair is now a semi-retired Ex-Pat, residing in Merida, Yucatan and Cancún, Q.R. When not writing, he can be found cooking Tex-Mex fusion foods and Mexican cuisine dishes, climbing Mayan pyramids and swinging in a hammock with a tropical breeze to his back.

His two concurrent writing projects include the second installment to the House Of Cartels Trilogy, American Beauty Destroyed, and La Cocina De Mi Madre E-CookBook, with a short collection of my memoirs and famous family recipes.
