Mini-Alex here!
I’m to give you the inside scoop on A to Z Challenge Co-Host,
Ninja Captain Alex J. Cavanaugh.
Why me? Because I’m not afraid of the spotlight. Alex likes his privacy and stays in the shadows. I guess Ninjas aren’t supposed to be seen, right?
So it’s up to me to tell you about him!
Alex started blogging over four years ago when his publisher told him to get his butt online. He participated in the very first Challenge in 2010 and has been a co-host ever since. Says that first Challenge changing his blog forever.
Alex is also the founder of the
Insecure Writer’s Support Group. IWSG for short. Writers with blogs post the first Wednesday of every month. They can also join the
Facebook IWSG. There’s also a IWSG Website - a database of sites and information for insecure writers. About a thousand people participate one way or another. (Writers are an insecure, squirrely bunch, aren’t they?)
I mentioned his publisher earlier. Yeah, Alex is an author. He has a space opera trilogy -
CassaStar, CassaFire, and
CassaStorm. They’re all Amazon Best Sellers. (Not sure
how when I’m not in any of the stories, but we’ll let that slide.) He’s working on another book now. And to think he didn’t even want to be an author!
That’s probably because he’s also a musician. Alex plays guitar in a Christian rock band. He has a lot of guitars, but none are as cool as mine.
If you visit his
blog, you’ll discover he likes to talk about movies, music, games, and other geek stuff. Alex also has a feature called the Ninja News where he highlights the achievements of his blogger buddies. He’d rather put the spotlight on others than himself.
And sorry
Ninja SAM, he’s also married.
There you have it!
Now, where’s that Mini-Kate you promised?
You can find Alex:
Blog, Twitter, Goodreads, Google+, and at the
