Lexi George was born and raised in South Alabama, and the place clearly stuck. She has described a rural childhood with one flashing light, a country store that sold everything from gas to pickled eggs, cotton fields all around, and trains passing close enough to hear at night. Her father was a circuit judge who collected chiming clocks. Her mother taught high school English. Between the clocks, the trains, and all that open country, George grew up with a sharp ear for the odd little details that make a place feel real.

She was also, by her own account, a major tomboy. She ran barefoot, climbed trees, played in ditches, and picked dewberries off the vine. That mix of rough edges and Southern setting turns up all through her fiction, where charm, danger, gossip, and weirdness usually share the same street.

Books came early, and writing did too. George started writing poetry in third grade, and she has been frank that it was bad poetry. Still, she kept at it through high school and college, where she studied public relations and minored in English.

Then law school happened.

George passed the Alabama bar on her first try and went to work as an appellate attorney for a state agency. She has said that her day job involves briefs and criminal transcripts, which means long hours with the darker side of human behavior. It also helps explain why her fiction leans toward humor, romance, supernatural chaos, and hard-earned happy endings. After being wrecked by Old Yeller as a kid, she has made it pretty clear that she prefers stories that leave readers in one piece.

Years later, the writing bug came back.

She joined a writers' group, started writing fiction seriously, and built a second career around the edges of a full-time legal job and family life. That work led to Demon Hunting in Dixie in 2011, her debut novel and the book that introduced readers to Hannah, Alabama, a place full of demon hunters, meddling locals, and trouble that never stays buried. It set the tone for much of what followed, funny paranormal romance with strong Southern flavor and a big affection for eccentric side characters.

The books that followed, including Demon Hunting in the Deep South, Demon Hunting in a Dive Bar, Demon Hunting With a Dixie Deb, Demon Hunting with a Sexy Ex, and Demon Hunting with a Southern Sheriff, all keep building that world. Readers who click with George usually like the same things: fast banter, oddball creature lore, small-town Alabama energy, and romances that are sexy but still playful. Her third Demon Hunting novel, Demon Hunting in a Dive Bar, was a RITA Award finalist, which gives a neat snapshot of how well that mix landed.

What stands out most in George's work is how grounded the fantasy feels. Her stories have demons, witches, shapeshifters, ghosts, and immortal warriors, but they also have family expectations, local feuds, and people who know way too much about one another's business. The supernatural never floats far from the everyday. That is part of the joke, and part of the charm.

She still lives in Alabama, and she has continued to balance law by day with paranormal romance by night. That double life suits her books. They know the world can be rude, messy, and absurd. They just insist that it can also be funny, romantic, and worth saving.
