Jann Alexander is the author of the historical novel, UNSPOKEN, set in the Texas Panhandle during the Dust Bowl and Depression eras, and her first book in The Dust Series. She writes on creative topics weekly in her blog, Pairings. She's a 20-year resident of central Texas and creator of the Vanishing Austin photography series. As a former art director for ad agencies and magazines, a painter, photographer, and art gallery owner, creativity is her practice and passion. Jann's  lifelong storytelling habit and her more recent passion for Texas history merged to become the historical Dust Series. When she is not reading, writing, or creating, she bikes, hikes, skis, and kayaks. Jann always brakes for historical markers.
