Alexia Holliday graduated from The Ohio State University and then graduated summa cum laude from Capital Law School, in Columbus, Ohio. Alesia spent several years as a trial lawyer in complex class action and mass tort litigation. She reports that she wrote legal briefs that read like comedies, which might explain why she never made partner. Her first book, E-MAIL TO THE FRONT, was a non-fiction account of what military deployment is like for the family left behind. She writes young adult fiction under the pen name, Jax Abbot, as well as a variety of other genres.
