A #WIP of The Battle Begins

Well, the page isn't done yet, for reasons I'll get to in a minute, but here's a #wip of page 2: The Battle Begins. Wil and the crew have finally caught up with the mutineers who abandoned them in Bagédaan. Now, there will be justice; and after having faced the horrors of battle on their own, you can be sure […]

Illness in the family

Unfortunately, we're having an illness in the family, so I'm not going to get the weekly page post done. Our poor old pooch got a bladder infection last week. I've been up with her every night for the last five days, cat-napping as best as I can on the couch. The good news is, she's getting better. The bad news […]

FMII: The Rescue! #WIP

Welcome to 2022! I debated about whether to post the graphic novel cover #WIP of my work on The Rescue! I confess, I'm still not 100% sure that doing so is a good thing, but as I'm posting them on Instagram anyway, I decided why not. If you're following along you're going to see all my creative ideas and mistakes that […]

An Update from Menelon

Hello, Alesia here. Lately, I’ve been trying to come up with a rough estimate of how much draft work that Michael and I have accomplished on Seven for a Secret. My best guess is that we’ve gotten about one-quarter of it down. As in, solidly down. As in, I catch myself going back to re-read what we’ve written because I […]

Just Keep Going

This isn’t another of those manic, so-motivated, happy-2019-or-die posts, and it isn’t for those who are perking right along with their champagne-bubbly, happy new year. This is a little something for the rest of us, those who are struggling to remember why we’re getting out of bed every morning, those who leave for work when it’s dark and come home […]

In Uncertain Times

I don’t know how else to put this. If you didn’t know it, you may want or need to know it, so I’m just going to write it straight-up: Michael and I have spent most of 2018 dealing with the aftermath of his mother’s death and his father’s subsequent spasms of irrationality, followed by his abandonment of his family by […]

Raven’s Tears is now on KDP Select!

For a long time now, we’ve been in the stupid position of having Raven’s Tears out of AMZN’s KDP Select service, while Dead Man’s Trigger remained IN the service, despite multiple attempts instructing AMZN NOT to renew its membership. Today, we gave up screaming at the impervious wall. Raven’s Tears has gone back up on KDP Select and both books are […]

The Triple Partnership

Hey, all. Alesia here, again. You know, I never, ever expected to be on the board of a corporation, let alone sitting as its president. It was just never a thing that was on my radar, and no one would ever think of corporate stereotypes in conjunction with me, unless maybe it was “bossy bitch.” Michael and I already had […]

Making It Sew — and So

This week’s news is that Michael and I have finally begun the process of getting Dead Man’s Trigger (DMT) down from the digital clouds and into a real, physical paperback book. We’d like to apologize for the wait to those of you who have been faithfully awaiting the paperback version, and to let you know it won’t be much longer […]

Resurrections

Hi, everyone. Alesia, here. It feels good to be able to say that, after two long, dark years, Michael and I have resumed the work on book three of the Raven & Iris trilogy. He and I spent this last weekend reassembling the notes in paper and electronic form, and then used most of our off-time this past week to […]
