Author has written 5 stories for Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, and Wheel of Time.

My name is Xander Alex Lightfoot and I'm 21 years old. I live in a remote town in south Africa called Brits, very very boring so to entertain myself I write endlessly.

I actually only started reading when I was 17. Before that I hated reading like I hated vegetables at the time. But one December holiday my family and I went to Cape Town and I bought my first book just because the money in my pocket burned hotter than the African sun. So I bought Trudi Canavan's THE NOVICE; see I never read before in my life so I didn't know about trilogies or series and so on so yeah I bought her second book. I didn't realize it until I started reading about stuff that had apparently already happened. But either way I fell in love whilst reading the first few words. When I finished with book two I went and bought book one and when I was finished with it bought and read book three; I know it was a bit crazy and messy, ;) everybody's first time is a bit crazy. Since then I've read over sixty books and is still going strong.

I only thought about writing my own novel when I was taking a well earned nap one Sunday afternoon whilst the sun scorched the world outside. I had a dream about this wood elf called Lithian who's mate had just given birth to a daughter. He had gone to check on her, because elven births are very dangerous, when a horde of dark elves attacked the village. When I woke I went straight to my computer and started typing and since then never stopped.

I love adventure sports like river rafting, parachuting and bungee-jumping. I like horses, although I've never ridden one before, and hiking through the wild. Anime is like my bread and butter especially Naruto, Lovehina, Bleach and Samurai Seven. I'm busy learning French and German but my home language is Afrikaans and second is English.

Well, that's me in a nutshell! Oh and remember 'When in doubt read aloud'.
