Danielle Alexandra

Danielle is a highly respected novelist and screenwriter. Given the moniker "the female Tom Clancy" for her mastery of the action/political/thriller genre, her novels include White Blood and China Doll.

An honours graduate from Harvard University, with a degree in government, Danielle's interest in political theory and her political activism led her to Washington DC, where she first established her professional relationships with top military and congressional officials. Like Clancy, her connections inside Washington and the Pentagon have led to the extraordinary access from which much of her acclaimed fiction and screenplays have leaped, including G.I. Jane.

Her first novel, China Doll,  was sold to Warner Books with an unprecedented seven-figure advance for a first-time novelist. Breaking the traditional glass ceiling of fast-paced action drama, Danielle has joined an exclusive list of top Hollywood writers. Emerging through the ranks, first as an executive at Twentieth Century Fox, then running her own company, The Boston Film Group, Danielle paid her dues as a writer/producer of several critically acclaimed television movies. She also served as the creator/writer/producer of the four-year hit NBC series My Two Dads, starring Paul Reiser (for which she was honored with a People's Choice Award and an American Comedy Award); and as the writer/producer of several prestigious television series, among them Quantum Leap and Chicago Hope.

Danielle's fresh, original material has made her one of the most in-demand and hardest-working writers with projects she has scripted at Paramount, Warner Bros, Columbia, and Universal studios.

Danielle sits on the board of All Children Count (for children with AIDS) and works diligently for child wish-granting organisations, where she has received awards for her work.
