Lexi graduated from UCLA with a degree in English. She also received a certificate in professional screenwriting from UCLA.

Fascinated by the supernatural realm, Lexi prefers to write stories that are out-of-the-ordinary. At first, she wrote horror but that ended after she scared herself a few times and ran out of the room. Convinced by an editor to focus on her witty sense of humor, sharp dialogue and unique voice, Lexi abandoned hard-edged horror and opted to write wickedly entertaining, humorous stories. This move landed her a multi-book deal with Pocket Books, an imprint of Simon & Schuster.
