About
I love to escape into a good book. My preference goes to literary fiction.
I used to be an innkeeper and wrote an e-guide for Cape Cod visitors but never created a paper version. I prefer the feeling of holding a real book to e-publishing. When I borrow a library book and fall in love with it, I immediately buy a copy. I especially enjoy historical novels.
Among my favorite authors: John Updike and Lauren Groff. Again, what I care about is the quality of the writing and the attention paid to historical detail.. Recent books I have especially enjoyed, The History of Music by Ben Shattuck and The Correspondent by Virginia Evans. Shattuck possesses the ability to make a reader feel like he/she is back in time at the historical period when each story in his collection takes place. He inspires me to try and do the same with my historical fiction.
I graduated from Vassar, then moved to France for 25 years, so no MFA, but have honed my craft at GrubStreet in Boston since 2008.
I wrote a blog about living green on Cape Cod for 10 years. In January 2024, I started posting on Facebook during my visits to my husband in Sweden
I became familiar with immigrant life from editing my dad’s memoir, Emigre, 95 Years in the Life of a Russian Count. The Nansen Factor, my short story collection, was published June 18, 2024. Koehler Books published my memoir SEEING JOY March 17, 2026. I am now revising a novel set in Viking times.
The books I have enjoyed the most over the past six months include Milo Todd's The Lilac People and Gish Jen's Bad, Bad Girl.. Follow me on Instagram: AlexandraGrabbeBooks
