About the Author

Felix Alexander (1976-Present) is a Mexican-born, American-raised novelist and poet of Mexican and Puerto Rican descent. Being third-generation military, after a grandfather and uncle who served in the Korean War and Vietnam War, respectively, Alexander is proud of his service in the U.S. Army and grateful for his experience. After his honorable discharge from the U.S. Army, his third year served in South Korea, he embarked on the long and arduous journey of a writer. Having made a name for himself during his tenure serving his country, he vowed to himself and his fellow soldiers that he would answer his true calling. He lives in South Elgin, IL--to be close to his children--a son and daughter. He volunteers to promote literacy among youth with Villament Charities and the VM Mag (vmmag.org). In the evenings he journeys through the portals of his extensive, personal library. When he returns, he immerses himself in his writing, and pursues the scent of his muse.

I sighed while reading, I sighed at the ending. I sigh upon remembering it."

~Amazon Customer Reviews

"The Last Valentine is an ode to love and romance.

From the passionate one to the possessive one, the obsessive one; the love born of patience and understanding, the one that is everlasting, the one that's meant to be and the one that's forbidden."
