 About Alex Webb

    I write both fiction and non-fiction books. 

    Since childhood, I've created various poems, plays, screenplays, songs, short stories and novels, most of them published without my permission.

    Some of those became worldwide famous, but I wasn't credited for my authorship.


Sci-fi, mistery, thriller and vampire stories. 

In childhood, I've created many stories, most of them plays and screenplays. When we were tired of acting and me and my young fellows went out of topics for chatting, I started with oral narratives to entertain them. I also took part in book authors collectives, common at those times.

Between ages seven and eight, I was fond of creating sci-fi, but my friends loved vampire stories and I have created a few pieces that became famous under other authors' name, as it has also happened with work pieces of other genres. In mistery, I've chose my dearest pseudonym with an esoteric bio and I've been called 'Queen of Crime' for my detective stories, which I used to enact as narrated plays.

As an adult, besides going n with poetry, I wrote for other genres, ranging from dramas to comedies. I also wrote a bunch of vampire short stories, but lost track of them. I have recently re-read them and found out they are quite good, so I decided to republish them under the name of Alex Webb and I also have a new thriller on the go.

Sad Cypress

      Wishing my fans (under a worldwide famous pseudonym ) a wonderful New Year's eve!     I couldn't harvest recognizement for my early work yet, but by the end of 2023 things took an unexpected turn and started to get better, although it still doesn't appear so.     Stay safe.

Woman in the Mirror

  I wrote this poem as a child and this one has been commonly attributed to Cecília Meireles, because I took part in book collectives during childhood. That one has a book on poems for children published. This isn't a nursery rhyme, though..     I finally translated the whole poem into English (I grew up bilingual). Of course, this is not an exact translation, but rather an unprecedented adaption, as happens with poetry. You can read both versions bellow.. Mullher ao Espellho Read it in English Hoje, que seja esta ou aquela Pouco me importa Quero apenas parecer bela Pois seja qual for, estou morta. Já fui loura, já fui morena Já fui Margarida e Beatriz Já fui Maria e Madalena Só não pude ser como quis. Que mal faz esta cor fingida Do meu cabelo, do meu rosto Se tudo é tinta; o mundo, a vida O contentamento, o desgosto.

A micro-story for Halloween

      This is a micro-story a wrote a long while ago. I haven't seen it in a while but I'm briefly recounting it here try to recall the same style I've used before without much effort rushing to be just in time for Halloween and I re-edit it later because I can't remember my exact words now. From then to now, I've just found out with an internet search that the phrase from my short story [spoiler alert] "I'm your period sorry I'm late" became popular humorous expression cataloged by Linguee website. The original version of this story was written by me soon after a trip to Spain, where I learned from Latin Americans I've found there that "Diego" is an usual euphemism name they use to call the devil in  Spanish-speaking countries.      I was doing my habitual tasks on Halloween evening when the bell door rang. There must be kids asking for "treat or tricks", I though, searching for the glass jar half-full of candies. As I open...
