Alexander Gordon's Blog

It's been long enough, the site needed a big change. AGordonPublishing.com now has a new look, easier navigation, and new features. For long time readers and newcomers alike, I'd like to direct your attention to the new side bar to the right, which not only has links to all my social media websites and Amazon Author page, but also a signup window for my mailing list. Subscribers who signup receive frequent updates on sales, promos, news, and sneak peek snippets from chapters of the upcoming book I'm working on. For eager readers who are itching for the next book to be released, you'll now have upcoming scenes emailed directly to you to help keep you from grinding your teeth to dust, how cool is that?

And with that announcement out of the way, it's back to work as usual.

If you haven't yet, then I wish to invite you to join the growing community over at the Chronicles of Eden Wiki. Not only can you find detailed biographies, lore, and character details down to the exact measurements of the sexy monstergirls that fill the story, but you can also join in on the discussion board to talk about any and all things Chronicles of Eden with other readers and the author himself. Feel free to start up a discussion post about anything you wish, learn more about the world of Eden and the vast character roster that it holds, help build the pages if you feel the urge to, and enjoy the rising hype as the next book in the series draws ever closer.

I’m excited to announce I’m launching a 4-Part Special Offer on my Patreon starting next week. Between 4/14/19 and 4/27/19, new and current patrons will be able to get some awesome exclusive goodies, and if enough patrons participate in the event I’ll be permanently upgrading a Tier reward for everyone! Here is what’s going to be offered:

+Patrons who join/upgrade to Diamond Supporter ($20) or higher will receive a free signed copy of the latest Chronicles of Eden book (S2.Act1) and have their names included in the opening dedication of the upcoming Chronicles of Eden book (S2.Act2)

+Patrons who join/upgrade to Gold Supporter ($10) or higher will have their names included in the opening dedication of the upcoming Chronicles of Eden book (S2.Act2)

+If we get +10 patrons upgrading/joining the Diamond Supporter or higher, I will be adding the reward of being included in the opening dedication pages to Diamond Supporter permanently.

+If we get +10 patrons upgrading/joining at least the Gold Supporter, I will post the opening preview chapter of the upcoming Chronicles of Eden book (S2.Act2) for all Gold Supporters and higher.

If you’re a current patron of either Diamond or Gold Supporter, you’ll still automatically qualify for the Special Offer and receive a free signed book/have their names added to the opening dedication pages of the upcoming book. Though unless you make an upgrade to a new Tier during the Special Offer window you won’t be counted for the 3rd and 4th offers’ quotas.

Again, I’m going to be hosting this Special Offer all through 4/14/19 until the end of 4/27/19, so make sure to join/upgrade during that time to earn extra rewards. If you can, please share, retweet, and tell everyone you know who may be interested in participating, and let’s see how many new members of the community we can add within those two weeks.

As always I want to thank everyone for their support with my writing and I hope to live up to your expectations with the stories I’ll be putting out this year :)

As many know who have read Chronicles of Eden, Daniel is one lucky bastard for having a large harem of lovely women and monstergirls. In Act IX the harem became officially complete, with 13 lustful ladies all becoming Daniel's mates and eventual lovers. Since then readers have often expressed their interest in seeing more monstergirls added to his harem, more monstergirls to become his mates, more monstergirls because apparently this guy just has all the luck with the ladies and maybe we should see just how far he can push his luck. That being said, I'm curious to see how much people really think about this. What do you think? Should Daniel's harem expand even further to include more varieties of monstergirls in it? Do you think the harem is large enough as it is and should remain closed?

As we all know, or can easily assume by now, the majority of my income comes from my Chronicles of Eden sales on Amazon. The books are exclusive to Amazon and are available in both ebook and paperback. They are also part of the KindleUnlimited program so KU subscribers get to read for free (with me getting a tiny percentage for the number of pages read). This is where the bulk of my royalties come from, as most of my readers are subscribers to KU. But that doesn't mean digital and paperback purchases aren't noticeable, as this announcements shows. I'm happy to say that as of the end of 2018 the Chronicles of Eden books, both digital and paperback purchases, have surpassed 21,000 sales! I know, I know, that's nothing compared to the millions that the big hitters out there pull in every year, but for an indie publisher who has only been in the business for a few short years, that's pretty good nonetheless. And yes, the KU readers are still way in the lead for who's signing my paychecks, but still I have to give thanks to all those out there who have purchased the books outside of KU. Heck, just knowing that there are people out there in different countries holding physical copies of my books puts a smile on my face every time.

So as always, thank you everyone who have been supporting me with my writing. Every sale, page read, review, and even mention of my books helps so much and is greatly appreciated. I can't wait to see where the upcoming year takes us next.

As promised, it's time for the last holiday sale for me to hold this year, and I've arranged a lovely treat for everyone. With the first book in the series, Chronicles of Eden - Act I: Second Edition, finishing up it's free giveaway tonight, the rest of the books are scheduled to go on sale immediately after. And by that I mean that all the books from Act II all the way to the newest entry Act XII will be going on sale from 12/9 all the way until 12/15 this month. Yes, all week you can find the digital copies of these books on Amazon for 50% off! That means for seven full days you can get 11 of the monstergirl books for the low price of $1.99USD! And if you haven't entered in the free giveaway for Act I there's still time, so hurry up and click to see if you win!

This is the last big sale of the year and my final push to jump into the next year with running feet as the Chronicles of Eden series continues to grow in new, exciting ways. I'm hoping all readers, both new and those currently reading through the books, will enjoy this holiday gift as I continue to work on getting the next entries of the series ready for release. Make sure to subscribe, like, retweet, and share to help this story and my overall writing career reach a wider audience and grow to new heights. And if you like what I'm creating then please don't forget to leave a review on the store pages, every bit helps the series shine brighter against the sea of fantasy books Amazon is also offering from countless other authors. With that, enjoy and have yourself a great holiday and end of the year!

Yes, I finally broke down and joined the masses of content creators by creating a Patreon support page. Honestly, it's been a long time coming, I just decided to stop procrastinating and make one at long last. Links are included here and on my social media. If you like the stories I create and want to help a writer out by giving him more than ramen noodles to eat everyday, then I invite you to head on over to Patreon and check out the new account page. With the help from supporters I'll be able to fund more illustrations, editors, animations, projects, and public events. Every little bit helps, and every contribution is greatly appreciated.

Let me just say that being a full-time writer certainly has its hurdles to overcome. One of which is having so many stories and projects to keep me busy all the time. To give some perspective of my work queue so far, here’s a rundown of upcoming releases, books, and writing projects I’m currently working on.

First is, of course, the next Chronicles of Eden book. Or rather two. This winter I’m going to be releasing a Chronicles of Eden – Season 1 Artbook, a paperback-only tome filled with all the character art of the first 12 books in the series along with plenty of extras. Every character will have biographies listed for them straight from the series wiki site. Additional artwork will be included, such as early concept art and how the art style evolved from the first book all the way to where the series is now. And for the first time, artwork of previously skipped characters will be included. Queen Victoria, Florence, even Alyssa and Triska’s mothers; every named character will be included in the book in full vivid color. This is without a doubt a must-have for every Chronicles of Eden fan out there.

Next is the continuation of Chronicles of Eden with its next book. No, not Act XIII. Need to keep things simple while at the same time showing progression of the series, after all nobody wants to try to figure out what Act XVIII is at first glance. The next book in the series will don the title Chronicles of Eden: Season II – Act I. This is to show both that a new, fresh story arc is about to take place, and also keep the Roman numerals from going crazy as the series grows. When is this going to be released I already hear many of you asking? It’s already being worked on, so ASAP is all I can reliably say for now.

And that’s not the only book readying for release. Demons of Aether – Wings of Steel is almost ready for publication, with the first book in this series that I have really missed working on now having a refined manuscript along with new artwork for all the characters included. The last edition of Wings of Steel was, sadly, rushed to publication, having numerous spelling errors and no artwork except the cover included with the book. Now both ebook and paperback formats will be available with the new edition to give this series the proper start it deserves. Release date is very close, stay tuned for updates.

Now for the part of this update that some of you probably skipped over to. Rosario Vampire: Brightest Darkness. When? That’s what many have been asking me for the longest time now. My original goal was to get the massive story and its side-story edited, republished, and continued to completion this year. How did that go for me? Terrible. What time I did find to focus on the story didn’t net any positive results. My mind was just not able to properly focus on the different story, characters, and dynamics that had been established to keep them running the same way. The “revised” chapters I did do for the story turned out to be less than stellar in my honest opinion, and not nearly good enough to post online for readers to see. The truth is I currently don’t have the time or energy to properly get the job done, not without really dedicating more time to the series that I just don’t have right now. So what does this mean for the story? Simple.

It’s time for me to get help. No, not mental help, I’m fine in that regard. I mean bringing on editors and writers to help me get this fanfiction rolling properly. Those who can help with polishing the current chapters of the story. Maybe even help outline first drafts and structure for following chapters to help speed up the writing. Or if they’re so in sync with how I want the story to go they may even be able to write the full chapters themselves if they wanted to, as long as the story goes the way I intended it to go I don’t mind who does the typing. Essentially, RV: BD has grown too big for me to handle alone along with my current workload of books to write. So for that I’m offering any who want to write for the series a chance to help out if they wish to. If you or anyone you know wants to help RV: BD and its sister-story continue at a faster pace than what I can currently do for it, please let me know. Email, DA Note, Twitter DM, however you want to get in contact. I ask that anyone who wants to help with the editing or writing for the story, please send references to your writing ability so I know if this is something you can reliably handle or not. I’ve already been getting requests since I hinted about this a while ago, but I’m not putting a limit to how many people can help out, so if you want to join the writing crew then by all means send a message my way. RV: BD is pretty damn huge, so the more help I can find the better.

So that’s my current list of things going on. There are a few other smaller projects here and there, but these here are the main attractions right now. The Chronicles of Eden wiki site is still growing, and if things pick up for RV: BD perhaps another wiki site may start to bloom as well. For now, I’m heading back to the writing grind. Plenty to work on, plenty to keep busy with, and plenty to look forward to. As always, thank you everyone for your continued support, I shall do my best not to let any of you down.

Hello to all readers here at Goodreads! I hope you're enjoying my book series as much as I am writing it. And please, if you like what you're reading, be so kind as to leave a review on the books' Amazon store pages to help support this upcoming author. I don't want to be another cliche' starving artist, so every review helps avoid that.

The more reviews on Amazon these receive the more they'll be advertised to more readers, and so on, and so on. Help spread the word to more people so they too can jump in and enjoy the ride.

Thank you everyone for your continued support, it makes the hardships of being an author all worthwhile.
