Early Life and Education
Alexandra Marie Llewellyn is the widow of best-selling espionage and military science novelist Tom Clancy and a respected business expert and fashion accessory designer. She runs her own company as well as participating in various charitable initiatives.
Llewellyn met her late husband, an ex-CIA official, in 1997 and they wed on June 26, 1999 when she was 21 and he 53. Their age difference generated some controversy among their public and media peers but this did not stop their lifelong partnership from progressing forward.
Alexandra is the feminine form of Alexander and means “defender of men.” It derives its meaning from two Greek words alexein (“to defend”) and aner (“man”). Alexandra is often chosen by mothers in countries where Greek, Germanic or Romance languages are spoken.
Professional Career

She specializes in special needs planning. She collaborates with developmental, behavioral and mental health professionals, vocational programs and CILA providers to educate clients about government benefits such as SSI, SSDI, Ticket to Work programs, Medicaid and Medicare coverage for clients with special needs.
Her new lawsuit alleges that JREL allowed other entities to profit from posthumous book revenues and profits related to Jack Ryan that should have belonged exclusively to Tom Clancy’s estate. Her 2017 suit against Clancy’s personal representative, Lansing R Palmer is being pursued alongside this one. Attorney Lansing R Palmer will represent her.

Tom Clancy, best known for his books like ‘The Hunt for Red October’ and ‘Patriot Games, died in 2013 leaving behind an estate consisting of 535-acre farm, numerous real-estate holdings and 12 percent stake in Baltimore Orioles baseball team. When she inherited it after his passing she took on its management.
Clancy has filed suit against J.W. Thompson Webb, his estate’s personal representative, alleging they allowed two entities to profit from posthumous book sales involving Jack Ryan character after Clancy died.
