Ali Cross grew up watching Bruce Lee movies and dreamed of being a kick-butt martial artist like Cynthia Rothrock. Well, she never became the kind of ninja she envisioned, but she does hold a black belt in awesome. She lives in Utah with her kickin' husband, two sparring sons, one ninja cat, one sumo dog and four zen turtles. And a cache of nunchucks, staffs, kamas and other dangerous ninja-weapons. Ali moonlights as Alex Banks where she writes wild middle grade adventures set in the faraway places of her imagination.

The battle over Midgard begins with just one girl ... Earth has been without a Guardian since its creation, but Loki means to take it for himself. His daughter, sixteen-year-old Desolation, wants nothing more than to stay in Hel where it’s cold and lonely and totally predictable. Instead, she’s sent to Midgard to make her choice--and what she chooses will determine not only her own future but the fate of all the worlds. ** “A phenomenal story of a girl who should, by all accounts, be a bad girl, but wants so desperately to be good. The story of Desolation Black and her trials as a normal teen, while trying to please her father (AKA: Satan) not only kept me on the edge of my seat, but left me questioning how I see the world. If a girl with such darkness in her life, can find a way to do good, then there's hope for the rest of us. Even if you're not a fan of dark paranormal novels, you'll love this one. It's not like all the others. Not even close.” C.K. Bryant (BOUND) “With beautiful, lyrical writing, this is one story fans of paranormal romance will not want to miss! And the twist at the end has me craving book two!” ~ Susan Kaye Quinn (OPEN MINDS) ** 2013 Hollywood Book Festival Honorable Mention 2012 League of Utah Writers (Silver Quill) 2012 League of Utah Writers (Best eBook)

The human race will be destroyed by the very beings they created to protect them. Archibald, Royal Servant of Serantha, Daughter of the West, has one mandate: Guide and protect Serantha. When the royal family is slain during a mutiny, Archibald sends the little girl down a garbage chute to save her life. For ten years Serantha is presumed dead, and Archibald has been forced to perform the drudgery of a mindless android. But deep in his programming he nurtures his one true purpose: Serantha lives, and he will find her. Serantha has no memory of her privileged life as princess and heiress of her father’s domain. She lives in the bowels of the royal ship as a kitchen slave, despised even among those with whom she serves. But when Sera is confronted with the cruelty of the Mind, the evolved androids who overcame the human race, Sera’s identity is revealed and hiding in the kitchens is no longer an option. Nicolai, Son of the West, has walked away from his crown, abandoning his family who refuse to acknowledge that the Mind will come for them next. The prophecies of an evolved human race died with Serantha and without their bond humanity has no hope of surviving, but Nicolai will not sit back and ignore the slow but steady demise of his race. He joins the revolutionaries of the West and there discovers a kitchen slave who might just be the one he’d long ago stopped hoping for. A sci-fi romance with a Cinderella twist* "I’ve always loved Ali Cross’s lyrical writing, but now she’s taken a story to the stars and written a sci fi romance that is both intimate and epic. The question of man and machine and how the two will co-exist is one that I see sprouting many flavors of story in the years to come – Blood Crown is an intriguing addition to those imagined futures!” ~ Susan Kaye Quinn (Mindjack Trilogy, The Debt Collector) "Blood Crown is filled with adventure, action, and romance. Love Nic and Sera. And Archibald. What I especially love is the world. One in which technology looks human and certain humans are interwoven with tech. It's so cool. A great read!" ~ RaShelle Workman, International bestselling author of the Immortal Essence series, the Blood and Snow series, and The Cindy Chronicles
