First the news part:
It's official, the editor of eXtasy emailed me this morning saying that my fantasy/sci-fi/erotic m/m series The Pembroke Eve Chronicles will be run every 60 days, starting on February the 15th with the first part: "Shadows of the Mind." Whoot!
Never fear, each part can be read as a stand alone, too, but best read in succession to get the full character arc for each person in the book. The stories are seperate, with each book having something different happen to the characters, from alien visits, to insect zombies, to a time rift that produces some interesting happenings. There's even a pet dragon!
I...am...so...excited.
This story, the tale of a sleepy but weird sea-side town of Pembroke Eve seen through the eyes of Jacob Thieson, was a blast to write. The supporting characters, the story lines, even the town itself were such an amusement for me. I always wanted to do a series featuring a 'mythical' town with a sort of Enid Blyton famous five feel and a bit of weird and wonderful thrown in for good measure.
Now for the update:
This site has been updated a little. On each book tab there will now feature reader reviews. If you have read one of my books, enjoyed it, or want to leave a comment, do so, and your comment will be placed with all the others. I have also taken down the hit counter. I didn't really see the need to know how many folks have visited. If one person comes on over and reads my site, then I'm happy.
I am Mark Alders, writer, intactivist, post office worker, and all round nice guy...except when someone steals my chocolate! I am a proud Australian, and as such use different spellings and have some weird phrases, too. Hey, perhaps that's why I write some damn weird shit!
I can't change who I am.
So when you read one of my books, enjoy the ride, but please don't say I can't spell. I spell how I damn well feel like it! LOL Naw seriously, I spell like an Aussie...do forgive me because we are a breed unto ourselves. Where else can a place have 11 registered public holidays and no one has any idea what they are for except to have a BBQ and down some beers!
If you do find a genuine error in my work, please let me know so I can speak with my editor...also, as an addition to that, offer chocolates as well. Lots of chocolates.
*hugs*
