Sorry, it’s been so long since I last posted, but I was writing on book 30 and, whoa, did that pull me in. Myth and Malice went to the Red Pen today. She’s reading it and banned me from staring at her. What to do, what do to? I thought maybe I’d get all of you caught up.

First! Welcome new PEEPs! We’re really happy to see that new readers have joined the ranks. I’m not going to put anything in this post to spoil the other books for you. I wish some of our reviewers (hint hint) would do the same. Actually, I’m incredibly happy with the reviews. Leaving a review on Amazon, Nook, or Kobo brings the book into the eyes of someone browsing. There are levels at which Amazon will advertise a book, and it’s basically after 40 reviews, or so I’ve been told. Anyway, thank you for taking the time to leave a comment. It means a lot.

Second, I’d like to send a shout out to the people in lockdown (like me), the essential workers, (Webguy included), truckers, delivery personnel, packers, the medical front line and support people. And, yes, what would we do if not for the first responders? These are times where our patience, kindness, and common sense will show the most. It’s very frustrating hearing the way my son is abused at his essential worker job. He’s there, frightened he’s going to bring Covid19 home to his at-risk parents, having to listen to the abusive language of some of the people waltzing around the stores toting young children without masks demanding their liberties. I promised to not make a personal comment but… I’ll leave it to my sending a noncontact hug to everyone who has had a bad day. There will be better days, and I’m proud of all of you for stepping up.

Now for the good stuff. After months of writing and rewriting, I have another Haunted Series draft finished. Yes, you have heard it before, but this is the largest word count I have ever written for one book. It wasn’t intentional, but the story I started at the end was too good to leave before it was finished. I try to make sure each novel has a completed story, sometimes three stories. I don’t like to read cliffhangers or watch them on the television, so I don’t follow that practice in my series. Yes, there will be a story arc that may take more than one book to complete, but I will entertain you with complete novels, no cliffhangers.

I called it Myth and Malice because it deals with both, sometimes in tandem, sometimes illuminating one or the other. I was inspired by watching my favorite adventurer Josh Gates in his Discovery Channel series Expedition Unknown. I had watched his Destination Truth series when it was on Syfy. If you haven’t seen him before, I guarantee he is worth the search to find the replays and first plays of his shows. He not only takes you places that I never knew were there, but his humor and outstanding commentary at the end of the pieces are inspiring. I went for the scenery and ended up learning something. He also had me studying the places he went to, reading scientific papers and listening to some great podcasts about the subjects I had zoned in on. Josh, if this ever finds it’s way into your hands, you, sir, are my hero. https://www.joshuagates.com/

If you’ve read all 29 books, 4 novellas and the five Cid Garrett P.I. series. Have a gander at Knight of Pages. I think lovers of the paranormal and lovers in general will love this book.

Well, the Red Pen is still reading (a good sign) and so I’m going to start writing…

Be smart, stay safe (if you have to go out) and be PEEPs.

Love,

Alexie Aaron

As a reward for those that read to the end of this book. You get to see the new cover first! Woo Hoo!

I’ll let you know the closer we get. Early June more or less. Ta ta for now! Alexie
