Meet the Summit Press Authors

We’re really proud of our authors, what they’ve accomplished, even before they decided to write a book.

Take Alexandra André for example.

Alexandra grew up on a family farm in South Australia. Having developed a love of running from an early age she got a taste of what’s possible when she completed her first marathon.

Not deterred by the years of injuries that followed as she chased a second marathon, Alexandra chose to take on an even greater challenge – IRONMAN Melbourne. It would become a dedication to her good friend Mads, and a life-changing one at that.

Impressive, right?

Alexandra has run further marathons and launched her own business. The Power of Possibility is Alexandra’s first book and she lives in Melbourne with her son James.

Here's what the book is about…

Far from an elite athlete, Alexandra André bounced from one running injury to the next for the best part of five years before deciding to take part in the toughest one- day sporting event in the world.

Without an ounce of confidence she could achieve it, Alexandra signed up to do the 2015 IRONMAN Melbourne – 3.8 km swim, 180 km ride, 42.195 km run.

THE POWER OF POSSIBILITY is a compelling sports story and much more.

We’re expecting great things for Alexandra and her book. Watch this space for more.
