Season’s Greetings

Posted on by Alexandra Gardner

🎶 ‘Tis the Season to be Naughty 🎶

The end of the year seems to have both taken a million years to get here and to have also snuck up on me to sock me in my lady bits out of nowhere. Probably that damn hydra I’ve been trying to take out for the last 9+ months. That ruthless bastard.

*Ahem*

Anyway, it’s the holiday season again. (Weird how that keeps happening, y’know?)

Happy [insert your holiday here] to you. Or Un-holiday, to those of you who don’t celebrate. I hope your upcoming weeks are blessed and beautiful, or sleepy and comfy, or just “good.” Being “just good” is more than enough. “Just existing,” too. Holiday cheer doesn’t mean you have to be cheerful if you’re not feeling it. And y’all, Feels™️ to that.

I normally spend my holidays off blissfully doing nothing to try to recover from the long work week. Sleep all day. Stay up too late. Hit snooze too many times the next workday… But this year, I’ll be spending the holidays with my grandma, taking quality time to watch no less than 5 Christmas movies. If you have any suggestions, yeet them at me. We’ve exhausted the A Christmas Prince universe over our last several November birthday and holiday visits.

Y’all got any plans for the sneaky-sneak holidays creeping up on us all?

Also, here at AGardnerBooks (aka, Queen of Chaos 👑 + Bootsigus 🐈‍⬛), we like to say, BITCHIN’ YULE! So I’ve got a few lovely treats for y’all:

Enjoy a little naughty Yuletide laughter with this ✨newsletter-exclusive✨ short story, Yuletide Chaos. Set in an alternate world, free from the trials and tribulations of the series, Team Sibyl enjoys a queer holiday toast as the energetic Tori Tyson tells the tragic love story of an executioner and his guillotine: Exxy and Guilly.

In the spirit of continuing the naughtiness…

The first six books in the on-going steamy Light of Chaos series are now available for a limited-time Special Holiday Sale. My Bitchin’ Yule gift to all y’all fabulous readers: Y’all get those six books for only $6.00! At only $0.99 each, that’s $16.00 in savings. And that’s in addition to the free short story Yuletide Chaos.

So, be naughty: Treat Yo-Self™️ to some holiday gifts.

Sale runs Sunday, December 22 through Saturday, December 28, 2024.

All the best, and may your holiday hydras stay small.

With love 🖤,
Your Queen of Chaos

Progress Update

Posted on by Alexandra Gardner

Where is the Queen in the World of Chaos?

It’s been a long while since I last posted, which wasn’t my intent.

I’ve had several unexpected “real life” adversities decide to reach out like a hydra with far too many heads and throw themselves into my path. The long-term impacts of those things have snowballed into a massive heap of “WTF” that needs to be untangled. As y’all can imagine, that’s affected my .

All upcoming publishing dates are TBD, but edits are in progress.

I appreciate y’all’s on-going support and patience as I try to slay a creature that’s far more ruthless than a dragon.

All the best, and may your hydras stay small.

With love 🖤,
Your Queen of Chaos

Greetings, and Latest News

Posted on by Alexandra Gardner

Hi all! Your unofficial Queen of Chaos here, saying, “sup?”

To start, let me introduce my fabulous self. Buckle in 😈.

31yo absolute fukkin’ delight of a human being who is aptly self-monikered the “Queen of Chaos.” I identify as 🏳️‍🌈 Rainbow Soup (aka too many to list) in the glory that is the LGBTQ+ community. I’m a self-published author who writes new adult dark paranormal romance, contemporary romance, high fantasy—you guessed it!—romance, and some really random-ass bonkers shit. I publish in the following categories: Action, LGBTQ+, Enemies-to-lovers, Gods (Greek, Egyptian, and Celtic), Magic, Mages, Witches, time travel, and more! (I’ve yet to publish my contemporary and high fantasy works, so please be patient with me 😅).

I have 7 books 📚 currently published, over 20 manuscripts written (which are staring at me balefully from the depths of my Files folders), and too many overlapping characters vying for space inside my head.

They’d invite you over for a party, but honestly, even I don’t like listening to them bicker inside my own mind, so…

I have an 8-ish year old cat named Boots. Bootsigus (for short 🤪) is a majestic being with toe beans who trills and screeches at Mommy when she isn’t “sitting on this damn floor in front of the wall heater with meeee!” Oh, and for his morning spoonful of wet food. He’s deceptively sweet, but he’s too much like his devious mother—but at least I’m not secretly a raptor plotting world domination.

Boots “helping” Mommy write.

I’ve got a BA in English, a minor in Writing, and a Masters in Library and Information Science. In other words: I’m a verbose creature with far too many questions, not enough answers, and I will literally go down a research rabbit hole for 2 hours+ because the answer I found to my original question 75 minutes ago perpetuated a snowball of THIS IS SO INTERESTING!

By day, I’m a Reference Librarian; by night, I’m a chaotic entity who probably needs to vacuum, do the dishes, and wash some damn socks because I’ve run out. My hobbies include eating, sleeping, binging anime, reading audiobooks on x3 speed, and pacing in circles trying to remember That Thing that I forgot… again.

Now, to business:

This is the start of my author blog where I’ll keep you up to date on my (chaotic) progress in my series, (badass) upcoming releases, (fantastic) sales, and more! Look forward to random-ass snippets, quotes, teasers, cover reveals, and free or discounted items. I’ll make book recommendations, gush over favorite authors, and “talk” your ear off… (I promise future posts will be shorter 😅).

To wrap up, I’d like to announce my recent short story that published this month! Elite Hunter (Light of Chaos: Born Elementals # 1) is now available to download for FREE on amazon or Apple Books.

A special shoutout to everyone who made this happen! And to those of you who’ve helped me achieve # 1 Bestseller in MULTIPLE categories for Elite Hunter in under 24 hours of publication. Y’all make my heart 🖤 soar and sing.

My debut novel, King’s Chaos (Light of Chaos # 1), is currently on discount for $0.99. Book 2 (Hunter’s Mark) is also on sale. Get it for $1 off! Be sure to read all novels and novellas in chronological order (Books 1, 2, 3, 3.5, 4, 4.5) to not miss out!

TL;DR – This is the start of my new blog! Also: I’m a chaotic human with a devious cat, and I just made # 1 Bestseller for the first time (and it’s all thanks to you wonderful humans!)

Welcome to the World of Chaos~

With love 🖤,
Your Queen of Chaos
