How it all started

From the beginning. In sixth grade ( yes that far back ) I wrote a short story about a little girl who was stranded on an island after a plane crash. The plot thickens when she discovers one of the passengers is a crazed psychopathic cannibal. To my surprise ( yet to no others ) my story was rejected due to it's "inappropriate" nature. I was so proud and so was my mother. After my mom told the teacher what she though, we spent the rest of the day knocking down the sanity of my educators and celebrating my creativity. Fast forward 20 years or so.
Apparently, I was officially an adult. I was visiting my mother and she had prepared a box of all my old school papers and awards ( the box wasn't very big ). Amongst the artwork and report cards we found my old horror story. My mother, the proudest in the land, revealed that she had always hoped I would expand on the story I had written so long ago. I took it as a challenge. A few years later I had a 534 page behemoth on my hands. After editing and reediting I had cut it down and was ready to send it off. I researched the process and kept running into the same phrase. "The best way to get published is to BE published." CRAP! I decided to write a short story. Something I could possibly publish in a magazine. While I was pondering, the "accident" happened.

It was a beautiful night. My friend was having a dinner party for his birthday, a preamble, before we all headed out to a local club to see a band. Just before we all loaded into our cars someone suggested we should take a group photo out on the deck under a blanket of stars. Nearly 20 friends huddled together poised and ready for our close ups. The flash went off and we all relaxed, that's when a call to action was heard " I want one on my phone" Even at that point we could share, FB, even email copies of photos. However our old school mentality held us in place as we waited for the elusive missing phone. Moments later we all held our smiles. "One, Two, Threee......." The ground disappeared beneath our feet. Time slowed to a crawl, and all thoughts of life before were now and forever gone. The two story deck we were perched upon crashed to the ground. When the rubble and cloud of ash from the hot BBQ grill settled, the confusion began.
Many were injured that night, me included, I shattered my Fibula and broke my Tibia. I would be healing for quite a long time. As I lay in bed with my leg propped up over my head It came to me. She came to me. CATALINA

*Book Tour & Giveaway* Phoenix Rising Series by Alexandra Christian-GUEST POST


Naked
Phoenix Rising Book 1
by Alexandra Christian
Genre: SciFi Romance

OUT OF THE STACKS


Librarian Phoebe Addison has lived her entire life within a seventy-five mile radius of her small Louisiana town, but when she receives a strange medallion from her adventurous, off-world sister, reality tilts toward the bizarre. Everything Phoe thought she knew is…well, wrong. Dead wrong. But bone-numbing fear has no place in this brave new world—nor by the side of the dangerous, exquisite man who saves her life.

AND INTO THE FIRE

Following the tragic slaughter of his family, operative Macijah “Cage” St. John understands evil in a way no man ever should. He traded happiness for a magnificent and terrible power, and fate isn’t done with him yet. He wasn’t looking for comfort. He didn’t need tenderness. But today he’ll play hero to a damsel in distress, and his quest will deliver him to the uncanny Martian colony of New London—and his heart to the demure Phoebe Addison. The bookish beauty’s hidden talents and deep abiding love just might save Cage from himself.





NeoGeisha
Phoenix Rising Book 2


BACK...


Macijah "Cage" St. John' didn't want the spy life anymore. He would have been thrilled to spend every morning lying in the field behind Phoe's home in smalltown Louisiana watching the clouds roll by. But his Miss Addison wanted to spread her wings, literally. So Cage accepted a mission that teamed him up with his lady love. If only he had trusted her.


TO THE FUTURE

Everything about being a spy was a million times more exciting, and scarier, than the books she'd read in her former life as a librarian. When her first mission with Cage turned into a colossal clusterf*ck because he withheld information and kept secrets, Phoebe's world narrowed into a long tunnel of betrayal. Captured by space pirates and delivered to a horrible fate, she wished the last words between them had been of love, because she was certain she would never see Cage St. John again.


In NeoGeisha, Alexandra Christian returns to the intriguing, post-apocalyptic world she created in Naked. Cage and Phoe continue to build their relationship, but not without complications. Romantic conflict and fast-paced action keep the pages turning, right down to the satisfying ending. ~ Nancy Northcott, Author of the Light Mage Wars series

NeoGeisha hit all my personal high points: wild adventure, sheet-scorching sex, killer machines, thousands-to-two odds and a vampire shape-shitfting James Bond in space. ~Vivien Jackson, Author of Wanted and Wired series





In Absinthia
Phoenix Rising Book 3

ALL INCLUSIVE VICTORIANA & STEAMPUNK


Interplanetary master spies, Macijah "Cage" St. John and Phoebe Addison are forced to take vacation time, and she wants to go to Absinthia, an off-world all inclusive interactive vacay planet set up as Victorian London, but with all the future comforts. Cage doesn't do down time, but their boss has other ideas, so begrudgingly, Cage agrees to go to Absinthia. Within a day of their arrival, they get embroiled in a Ripper copy cat series of murders complete with séances, "altered" humans, kidnapping, and affairs of the heart - their hearts, which will always belong to each other.





Out of Ashes
Phoenix Rising Book 4

THE LOVE YOU TAKE IS EQUAL TO THE LOVE YOU MAKE


Phoebe Addison and Macijah "Cage" St. John have so much going on they can barely take a breath. Interplanetary master spies who generally drive their boss crazy, they are now trying to track down the person - is a skin walker a person? - who tried to kill him at their engagement party. Yeah, they were talked into returning to Louisiana so the whole town could show up and gawk at Cage. But they have bigger problems than usual when tracking an assassin. Secrets that have been buried for too many years are about to be uncovered if Cage and Phoe can survive the people, vampires and "things" that are trying to kill them. And to top if off, Phoe has a secret she's sure will send Cage into a tailspin. But, as with everything they have lived through to be together, their love is the constant that is its own reward.

How Do I Get Published?
Alexandra Christian
How do I get published?
A question that doesn’t have an easy answer. With the dawn of eBooks and self-publishing, there are so many paths to publication now that everyone has a different story. The traditional route is: write a great, polished novel; query agents FOREVER and become an expert in navigating the slush pile; finally get an agent who then gives you MORE advice on editing; agent submits your book to big publishing houses and possibly sells it after months or years of submitting; you finally get the book contract and proceed to mark time for at least a year until your book FINALLY comes out (large presses are enormous machines that take ages to put out your product). That traditional model works for some people and that’s fantastic. But the truth is, big 5 publishing is floundering right now. They are trying to keep up with the market and keep it an exclusive club. Agents are not into taking gambles these days. They want sure things and they watch the market extremely closely. And who can blame them? They have to represent authors whose work they KNOW they can sell. Their livelihood depends on it. So the traditional publishing model is difficult to break into. And getting more difficult all the time.
A lot of authors are going through small, independent presses (like me) or doing the self-publishing thing. Indie presses have a smaller-scale model of the traditional path, but don’t usually require an agent and they move your book faster through the machine simply because they don’t have so many books to produce. Nor do the majority of them offer an advance. But, they often don’t have the exposure that a large press does or the capital to promote your book through really big channels (Publishers’ Weekly, Booklist, Kirkus, etc.). They also have a tendency to go out of business because just like everyone thinks they can write a book, everyone thinks they can run a small press. Trust me, they can’t. So investigate your small press prospects before you sign that contract. Find a press that has a good backlog of books that fit with yours. Find out how long they’ve been in business and what their marketing plan is. These things are important to know before you hand over your baby.
Self-publishing is great because you’re in charge of every aspect. The bad thing about self-publishing is that you’re in charge of every aspect. In order to be successful at self-pubbing, you have to know about everything-- writing, editing, marketing, book covers, promotional channels, formatting, getting reviews, social media, etc. etc. etc… It’s also, if you’re going to do it right, expensive. You have to pay an editor. No, repeat after me-- you have to pay an editor. No you can’t do it yourself. No you can’t ask your cousin who’s a schoolteacher to look it over for you. No that is not what spellcheck on Word is for. You need to pay a professional editor, pay for original cover art (you can fudge it a little with pre-made covers, but they better be awesome premade covers), pay for good formatting to make the book readable on Kindle, Nook, Kobo, etc.), and then all the promotional costs (advertising, convention appearances, print books for signings/ events, etc.). So self-publishing is great, but it is by no means cheap and easy.
Getting your book published can be a long and twisty road, but in the end it’s worth it. You’re getting your stories out there for readers to enjoy and there’s nothing more satisfying than that.

*Book Tour & Giveaway* The Mourner's Cradle by Tommy B. Smith-GUEST POST


The Mourner's Cradle: A Widow's Journey
by Tommy B. Smith
Genre: Horror

The tale of a widow's harrowing journey through grief and peril into the cold remnants of a dead world.


Damon Sharpe had in part found victory, he believed, in his battle to unearth a truth obscured by time. By autumn, he was dead, leaving to his wife Anne a house of unfulfilled wishes, remnants, and the key to the enigma of his obsession, the Mourner’s Cradle.

A journey through grief and peril delivers Anne Sharpe from her home in St. Charles to the faraway skeletons of a long-dead civilization where she will find the desperate answers she seeks...or die trying.





Tommy B. Smith is a writer of dark fiction, author of The Mourner's Cradle, Poisonous, and the short story collection Pieces of Chaos, as well as works appearing in numerous magazines and anthologies throughout the years. His presence currently infests Fort Smith, Arkansas, where he resides with his wife and cats.


GUEST POST
What did you edit out of this book?
My new book, The Mourner’s Cradle, ends on a certain note which might have gone otherwise.
To elaborate, the book originally had an additional chapter at its end. Ultimately, I found the work stronger minus this addition, and withdrawing it ended the book on a very different note.
I’ve heard it mentioned that whether a story has a happy or unhappy ending depends on where you end the story.
I’ll divulge no spoilers for those who haven’t read the book, but I will say that ending it on this note, the one you’ll see in the book, held far more of an impact to me.
That other chapter, for those who might wonder, was a chapter of aftermath. While it might have fleshed out a certain aspect of the world in The Mourner’s Cradle, by the end, I judged the story more powerful without it.




What kind of research do you do before you begin writing a book?
Sometimes researching for a book means looking into the past or into the imagination, whereas some projects require specific research.
The history of St. Anthony’s Fire, also known as the Holy Fire, interested me. Stories of mass poisonings, tales of people seeing dragons and demons, entire villages vanishing. These accounts inspired one of my short stories, Epitaph for Sol, which appeared in my collection Pieces of Chaos.
With a book such as The Mourner’s Cradle, research was more deliberate. I consulted outdated research materials published in the 1970s, because the book is set in 1979. The focus is on the views and developments of that time period.
Then the archaeological aspect came into effect. South American lore and relics, those we had at that time, provided only a vague outline of the ancient cultures in that region.
I spent some time in New Mexico a couple of years ago, and now my research has wandered into that territory, and I’ve begun writing a story based in the region.
Being a writer is a considerable part of life, on my end, and life and research have a tendency to overlap.

GUEST POST
What can we see from you in the future?

There are more Crystal Creek books to come. Because Max Whitlock, Sr., the patriarch of the Whitloch family, is a serial marrier and has married four times, he’s fathered children with each wife giving me plenty of characters to write about. Max’s fourth wife, Rose, owns the Crystal Creek Ranch. Each of his children has a book, and now it’s time to move on to other members of the family. Right now, I’m working on Book 8 as yet untitled, which features the nephew of Max’s fourth wife. Troy Merrick comes to the ranch after serving an overseas assignment but finds he has little in common with his friends and family. He’s ready to return overseas when he meets Ella Perez who’s not only beautiful but has a very curious interest in Troy’s Uncle Max.
