      T. M. Alexander likes to eat wine gums in the cinema. Her favourites are red and black. She writes in a little room hidden away behind a secret door that’s disguised as a bookcase. She keeps a box of emergency food under her desk, in case the door ever gets jammed and it’s some time before anyone notices she’s missing.
