Hey, y'all: Did you know there's another way to support your favorite authors? I'm on this thing called Ream. It's a serialization platform that works like Patreon. And if you subscribe, you get first access to the raw manuscripts of everything I'm currently working on.

There's a bunch of cool s**t there right now, including the original drafts and cool things.

Maybe even the sequel to this book you have in your hands right now.

It's like buying me a cup of coffee once a month.
Authors are nothing, if not over caffeinated were-bears.

Me? I'm a cheap date.

If you join me on Ream, you'll be able to get electronic editions of all your favorite stories hot off the presses.

Ever wonder what my stories look like before I polish up these turds and ship them off? Ream.

Ever wonder what my stories look like
AFTER I polish them up? Ream.

Ever wonder what else I've got hiding or up my sleeve? Ream.

Seriously. There's stuff there that might not make it to Amazon for like another year.

You know you want to be the coolest kid on your block telling all your friends about kd Alexander's "unpublished works" - just think

Maybe when I'm old and gray you'll still have your Ream treasure trove and can sell it at Sotheby's for a small fortune.

Who else has access to the "complete unpublished works" of their favorite author?

Ream supporters. That's who.

Just a little preview of the swag I'm working on for when the paperback store refreshes

24/11/2023

The holidays are coming up.

Want to make your friends and family question your sanity and the poor life choices you have made, buy a book or five.

When they ask tell them your friend is the author.

Sit back, grab a bowl of popcorn and enjoy the show.

Searching for your next favorite story? kd Alexander worked his whole life to finally get an office with a mountain view. It'd be great if you could see the mountains through all the Funko Pops, hardcover books, and 1990s action figures that litter his office.When he's not writing bad-ass stories, h...

In the dying light of a crimson sun, a lone Scout adjusted the straps on her worn leather armor. Her fingers trembled, not from the cold, but from the weight of her mission. She looked back one last time at the towering walls of Haven, a silhouette against the darkening sky. Then, she activated the mechanical lock on the gate and stepped into the wasteland.

The air was thick with the stench of rot and decay, a foul odor that no amount of time could ever make familiar. Her boots crunched on the ashen ground, each step a reminder of the world that was lost.

The scout had barely covered a mile when she heard it—a guttural growl, low and menacing, echoing through the skeletal remains of a once-thriving forest. She tightened her grip on the plasma rifle slung over her shoulder and quickened her pace. But it was too late.

From the shadows, they emerged—feral creatures, their eyes glowing an eerie yellow, their bodies a grotesque mix of flesh and machinery. Sarah raised her rifle, her finger trembling on the trigger. She managed to take down two before they were upon her, their claws tearing through her armor, their fangs sinking into her flesh.

And then, darkness.

🦅💀Welcome to Hawk's Trail, a desolate outpost teetering on the fringes of reality and horror. 💀🦅

Through the veil of an ordinary small-town existence, Alices grapples with a bone-chilling truth: Her home is a hunting ground, and she is the prey.

As darkness falls, eldritch nightmares emerge from the shadows, transforming familiar streets into a deathly maze.

Under the eerie glow of moonlight, Alice must unlock the secrets of the town's curse, armed with nothing but her courage and a mysterious diary.

Join her on this chilling journey where survival is the rhythm and fear is a constant companion.

Can Alice save her town from the monstrous grip of the night, or will the blood-curdling horrors lurking in Hawk's Trail claim them all?

This is a great place where readers can support their favorite authors with tiered memberships and get access to new releases and watch stories unfold in realm-time before they appear on Amazon or any other platform.

I'm currently previewing "Hawk's Trail", an eldritch horror that takes place in a small town.

Also previewing is a novella prequel to the greater "Meros" universe of sword/sorcery stories. Do you remember how you felt when you read DragonLance for the first time?

March 15th, 1865

The township is under a shroud of dread. The malevolence has seeped into every corner, infecting the lives of its inhabitants. Children wake screaming from nightmares. Livestock are found dead, their eyes wide with terror. Plants wither and die, as if the very soil they root in has turned against them. Nightfall brings unspeakable horrors, shadows that crawl and moan, that whisper promises of pain and death.

There must be a way to reverse this. To unmake my mistake. I've started pouring over ancient texts, scrolls collected over the years, desperate to find something, anything that might help. But the words seem to dance before my eyes, eluding understanding.

An outcast, from a world so cruel,
He walks alone, with a will so full,
Of hope and courage, to face the night,
And Lunar's light, to guide his sight.

With sword in hand, and armor shining bright,
He strides forth, with a valiant might,
Through perils and danger, he shall fight,
With Lunar's guidance, his only light.

His journey shall be long and hard,
With shadows lurking, and danger in the yard,
But with his heart pure, and his spirit true,
He shall overcome, all that comes anew.

So heed this prophecy, and follow his lead,
For Lunar's hand, shall plant the seed,
Of hope and love, and light and peace,
Where all shall prosper, and darkness shall cease.

When the battle is won, and the world is reborn,
The young knight shall stand, with Lunar's horn,
And with his sword held high, he shall say,
The old gods and fairy tales, shall forever stay.

The prophecy shall be fulfilled.
..Soon.
