Coven Witch

Work-In-Progress Wednesday # 3

Spill the Tea, Queen

Whew. It’s been a Whole-ass Time™️.

Between finishing the last touches on Coven Witch (Light of Chaos: Born Elementals 2), creating its sales page on amazon, and drafting up wayyy too many promotional images (of which, 99% weren’t used), I’m on the back foot. Launching a book release campaign is intense, and it took up a lot of my focus for the first five months of the year.

But also~ Look at the beautiful ✨ shiny ✨!

Don’t forget, Elite Hunter (Light of Chaos: Born Elementals 1) is still set to perma-free. Be sure to get both books!

Only available in Kindle & Kindle Unlimited.

Okay, onto the new news…

Morrigan’s Curse, book 5 (installment 7) in the Light of Chaos series, only needs one last review before I “so yote it be” at my editor. Buuuuuuut… I’ve only just started on that. I have several, SEVERAL hours of edits ahead of me. This one has a publication date of late summer 2025. Launching a book takes a lot of time and work, and I’m excited to put my full attention into that process.

Why late summer? Because, at the end of June, I get the magical gift of having a full week to spend with my gamma and my mom, who’s flying in from out of state. I’ll get to see extended family, too. We’ll be having a celebration of life ceremony for my grandpa who passed away in October. The holiday season was too chaotic of a time to celebrate then, so instead, we’re going to have a blast in the (hopefully) nice weather, yeet Grandpa’s ashes into the large backyard fire pit (because he’s a badass 😎 who wants to be close to my grandma), and enjoy good food and company alongside him. I’ll be tossing in some yummies for him 🔥.

Even more blessed, I get the privilege of hosting one of my best friends at my place for a week ( …one week after my mom flies home 🤣). She’s flying over from across the country, and I can’t wait to see her! It’s been almost three years since I last saw her. We’re going to veg on my couch, spend some time writing, and be lazy AF. Then I’ll drive her to the Pacific Ocean since she’s never been. I’ll be a muthafukkin’ mermaid 🧜‍♀️ and dive into that cold AF shit because (like Darien Black) water is my element.

As y’all can tell, June and July will utilize most of my Brain Energy, so I’ll need time to recover.

Busy, busy, this Queen of Chaos is.

Look forward to Morrigan’s Curse sometime in August or early September… (It all depends on if the hydra chooses to interfere in my life again…)

Anyway. That’s all the relevant information at the moment. More to come later.

As always, welcome to the Chaos.

With love 🖤,
Your Queen of Chaos

Posted on by Alexandra Gardner

Say hello to your ~new~ little friend, releasing…

May 19th, 2025!

Darien Black wants revenge.

Ever since a Cardinal Sun Elite Hunter murdered his brother a month ago, he’s been searching for Rin’s killer. But the man is like a ghost, and Darien can’t seem to find him anywhere. With each passing day, the elemental voice of Water living in his veins urges him to give into the churning tide within and seek retribution, no matter the damage left in his wake.

High Priestess Serena of the Celestial Moon Coven is worried about her boyfriend Darien. He’s become distant and withdrawn, and she fears that Water will take him over and cause violent destruction, costing thousands of innocent lives. When she seeks advice from her patron goddess Selene, it’s Hecate, Goddess of the Crossroads, who responds. She warns that his heart is in danger.

If Darien can’t find the strength of heart to forgive himself and the man who killed his brother, the world will come to ruin.

***

Meet the covens. Battle your enemies. Prove your mettle. And pray to the goddess you survive.

Pre-order Now!

Now for the ~exciting~ news that I promised in the cover reveal newsletter:

Amazon has invited me to try the virtual voice beta audiobook program. This beta platform is by invite only, so I’m investigating the viability of this for future audiobook releases. I will be starting with Elite Hunter (Light of Chaos: Born Elementals 1) to see how readers respond. If all goes well, the Born Elementals trilogy will be published in this audiobook format.

Some of you might be looking at me like *squinty face* “Elaborate on ‘virtual voice,’ Queen.”

Like Siri and Alexa, there are preset voice options to choose from. These are called “synthesized voices.” I’ve probably listened to each of the many, many options 30x apiece by now. (Hey, you can never be too careful when comparing timber to timber to timber when selecting the “perfect” voice to represent your characters). They each sound fairly natural, with the exception of a few — which I won’t be using anyway.

There is no anticipated release date for the audiobook at this time. I’m still in the “investigation” process. So until I’ve listened to the audio from start to finish, I can’t be certain of the quality. My main concern is whether or not there’s the option to add emphasis to certain words that are “stressed” with italics. Fingers crossed!

For anyone who isn’t fond of virtual voices reading books, I have a far, far, FARRRRRR off dream to have *real* voice actors narrate my books. However, I don’t have $5,000+ to produce even one of my books… And with eight books already published, and several more on the way… well. My Queenly ass be like “LOLOLOL I’ll go broke, yo.”

If I *do* secure a voice actor or two, y’all’ll be the first (second) to know.

I’m trying to hold out for this option when it comes to the main Light of Chaos series, simply because there’s so much nuance that’ll get lost in a virtual voice. Okay, okay — you caught me: It’s purely for the snark. The. SNARK! Y’all, have you read that shit!? I need irl people slinging that ‘tude while reading Sam and Jeph and Owen and —

*clears throat*

Anyway, that’s what I got for now. More to come later.

As always, welcome to the Chaos.

With love 🖤,
Your Queen of Chaos
