Alex Ander

Biography

A big-time fan of thrillers (books and movies) for over 40 years, Alex Ander writes globe-trekking action thrillers packed with fistfights, gunfights, and heart-pounding excitement and adventure.

Alex has written more than 20 books in the military/law enforcement genre. And as an avid gun enthusiast, he cringes right along with you when a magazine is called a “clip.” That’s why you can always trust him to get the firearm terminology correct.

Currently, Alex has produced four different series with main characters from the U.S. Marines, Army Rangers, FBI, and U.S. Marshals Service. And a possible fifth series is in the works featuring a character from the CIA’s Special Operations Group.

Living in Michigan with his wife, Alex spends some of his spare time painting landscapes, playing the harmonica, reading books, and watching action thrillers.
