Sheila Alexander lives in Massachusetts with her husband, son, dog, and parrot. She holds a master’s degree in education and a minor in fine art from Lesley University. By day, she works as a teacher, where she shares her love of comic books with her students. She believes that books have the power to change people’s lives, so she wrote her first book, IF: A Memoir of Infertility, in hopes that it will help other people going through infertility treatment.
In this interview, Sheila sits down with Tim Finn, a professor at the Lesley College of Art and Design and owner of Hub Comics in Somerville, Massachusetts.
