Alexandra is also a singer/songwriter who often integrates music into her books’
pages. She wrote and recorded three original songs to accompany Timeless and
Timekeeper, which were released as the album The Timeless EP and distributed by
Jimmy Buffett’s record label, Mailboat Records. She also recorded a song that was

musicals for the stage. Her musical roots are deep, as she is the granddaughter of
the late Monir Vakili, the foremost Iranian opera singer, and the daughter of
singer/songwriter ZaZa.
