Alex Lyttle is a pediatrician living in Calgary, Alberta, Canada with his wife and four children. He was raised in London, Ontario - the setting of his first novel, From Ant to Eagle, a multi-award winning story which he wrote based on his experiences working in the Pediatric Oncology unit. Readers have described it as "relatable, pragmatic, touching, moving," and perhaps most importantly,"a reminder that adults are not always the wisest people in the room." Many readers point to one quote that lingers in their hearts in particular: "The only thing worse than dying is living without hope."

The Rise of Winter, Alex's second novel, steps away from the medical world and enters that of fantasy – a world created during bedtime stories for his eldest daughter that readers compared to Red Queen, The Dark Crowns, and Cinder. Fans call Alex's writing "entertaining", "moving" and "dynamic". When he is not working, writing or playing basketball, he enjoys learning new magic tricks to perform for his young patients. Watch for Alex's newest novel The Pain Book, set to launch in the Spring of 2022.
