ABOUT

Hi, I’m Alex Berg, a multi-genre writer and the author of over twenty-five novels. Among them are a best-selling psychic mystery series, Daggers & Steele, a fast-paced urban fantasy series, The Nyte Patrol, and my new romance series, White-Collar Crimes.

This is normally where you’d find a brief, boring blurb about my life and accomplishments. However, a much better way to get to know me is through an FAQ, presented as a discourse with myself. Let’s get this started, shall we?

Um. You’re a dude.

Indeed, I am. That’s also not a question, so we’re off to a great start already.

But you write romance.

Well, I write a lot of genres, actually. I write contemporary romance and romantic comedies under the name Alex Berg, and I write mystery, science-fiction, and fantasy under the name Alex P. Berg. (That middle initial is important).

But to answer your not-a-question, yes, I write romance. Contrary to popular belief, some men both write and enjoy reading romance. I’m one of them.

So… what kind of romances do you write?

As I said, I write contemporary romance and romantic comedies, but more specifically, I like to write stories with strong, capable female leads and flawed male love interests with hearts of gold. I take pride in writing stories with smart, funny, charismatic protagonists and snappy dialogue, and because these are true romances, each novel comes guaranteed with a happily-ever-after ending.

And, uh… how spicy are these romances?

Like many contemporary romances, my novels contain explicit sexual content. Compared to other recent popular novels in the genre, I’d say my books rate about 3.5 spicy jalapeños out of 5, but depending on who your favorite authors are, my stories might seem either salacious or tame.

So are you as tall and dreamy as most of your male leads?

Tall, yes. Dreamy? Uh… I guess that’s a matter of personal opinion. I think I’m pretty handsome, and my wife agrees, but maybe we should focus on writing related questions?

Fine, Mr. Buzzkill. Tell me about your other books, then. You write mystery, science-fiction, and fantasy?

One statement and one question. I’ll take it. And yes, I write all those genres, often mashed together. My best-selling Daggers & Steele series is a police procedural mystery series set in an urban fantasy world. Rich Weed is a science-fiction private eye series. The Nyte Patrol is comedic urban fantasy, and Tyrants of Mars is a hard science-fiction thriller. You can check all of them out over in My Books.

Do those books feature adult content?

Not really. There is some sexually suggestive content as well as violence (I mean, Daggers and Steele are homicide detectives, after all), but by and large, my non-romance novels are pretty safe.

I saw in one of your novels that you drew your own cover art. Are you an artist, too?

An amateur one, yes. I used to feature more of my art on my website, but since most people are here for my books, I display those front and center. That said, if you really want to see some of my artwork, I do have a gallery. I’ll admit, I haven’t updated it in a while.

How in the world do you find time to hone all these different skills?

I have a very patient and supportive wife, mostly.

So how long have you been writing?

Since 2012. I published my first novel in 2014, and since then, I’ve gone on to write more than twenty-five novels, as well as a number of novellas and short stories. I try to write at least three novels a year.

Wow. That’s a lot.

For some, maybe. For others, it’s not. It’s all relative.

What did you do before you became a writer?

I was a scientist and engineer. Believe it or not, I have a Ph. D. in Nuclear Engineering, but I’m a lot happier writing than I was engineering.

Are you agented?

Not currently.

How do I contact you?

If you have comments, concerns, questions, or business inquiries, use the comment box on the Contact Me page. You can also follow me on Twitter and Facebook. I have separate Facebook pages for my Romance and Mystery/SFF, but just one Twitter profile.
