Alex Burrett grew up in South Wales near Wordsworth's Tintern Abbey. He's been writing creative material since single figures. (Saying that, don't most of us write creative material when we're in single figures?)
Work and leisure have taken him around a fair bit of Britain and Western Europe, over to the US a handful of times - with a couple of trips to the Eastern Mediterranean thrown in for good measure. In that time he's scaled and fallen off cliff faces, played and got scared in fresh and salt water, loved, hated, got confused, inebriated, depressed and had moments of extraordinarily blinding clarity.
His proudest boast is to be married to a magnificent woman and have four fantastic children.
Burrett's first collection of short fiction, 'Ma chèvre s'est mangé les pattes', was published in the UK in 2008 by Beautiful Books. In 2009 it was published in the US and Canada by Harper Perennial. In 2015 it was published in translation in France by Aux Forges de Vulcain. Translation rights are managed by Aux Forges de Vulcain.
Burrett has e-published four additional books:
The Titans, a novel that explores truth and megalomania.
Outstared by a Bullfrog, a novel that explores a man's lifelong relationship with god.
A damaged boy, a second collection of short fiction.
Fedw, a collection of poetry representing several poetic genres.
