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 […]

At the time – neck-deep in a troublesome manuscript edit that I wasn’t sure I could complete on schedule – it wasn’t a prospect I could entertain with any […]

For a podcast that covered the gamut from the uses of the modern metaphor to the nitty-gritty realities of indie publishing, it’s amazingly coherent! We got to talk storytelling in fiction and in tabletop gaming for awhile with Kurtis Amueller at MFGCast
