Alexus Rhone: Empowering Stories, Unshackled Publishing & The Power of Words
Alexus Rhone, affectionately known as 'Lex,' is a writer, producer, artistic theologian, and 'revolutionary artist' devoted to candidly exploring the power of truth when 'dressed' in story.
Lex owns her own publishing company called 'Unshackled Publishing.' Unshackled Publishing publishes gateway fiction for reluctant reading teens and preteens. The company's mission? To get them 'hooked on books!'
Lex's titles engage the often-neglected reluctant teen/pre-teen reader by exploring universal themes such as friendship, betrayal, spiritual and sexual angst, and peer/adult relationship dynamics.
