The Great War dramatically changed almost everything and everyone on Menelon. That is no secret. What is not generally known is what those changes were, and how they affected each culture. The war spanned three continents and an unknown number of islands. For a rare few, the major impact of the war was the presence of a military port or […]

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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
These are the last six days of this book’s life. And we’re selling it cheap. The next book in the “fantasy urban fantasy” trilogy, DEAD MAN’S TRIGGER, is coming for your Kindles, Nooks, and Kobos in November. This one is leaving KDP Select after that – think of it as going into a witness protection program. It’ll disappear for a […]
Michael and I are going to be LIVE on Rolecasters starting at 9pm EST, 6 pm Pacific, talkiing about Raven’s Tears, the world of Menelon, the nexus of fantasy RPGs and fiction, and whatever else they’ll let us get away with. We’ve never done a PG-rated live-stream before, I’m NSFW at the best of times, and it’s all going down […]
Okay, so Tagul Word Clouds are plenty awesome, too. May I present their version of the word cloud for chapter one of Raven’s Tears. Wow. I may have to get that one done on a shirt, or mug. Michael and I had a moment as we were reviewing each other’s work for the day where we kinda looked up and […]
