Thanks. I'm going to try and get back into using GR properly again. So much Social Media, so few hours in the day....
Okay, if you end up getting 2 greetings from me...Blame GR haha!
Helloooo and welcome, Miss Alex!!
(I totally posted that before and poof! LOL)
Hey Alex! Yay for more fantasy, and erotica. It's one of my favorite mixtures! (I write that too). Tell us more about your books.

I mean, hello! Welcome Alex! :D
Sorry totally missed this thread with answers:)My novels are dark fantasy sprinkled with saucy scenes. They've been described as 'sex and sorcery'.
The short stories are (mainly) just fantasy without the sizzle, but some will have a bit of naughty fun;)
I'm a poet too.
The Light Beyond the Storm Chroniclesis my first series novel - so far in a trilogy but there are more planned.
Elves - well they aren't your usual set of flower huggers. Elves are slaves - or living in hiding - and subject to the rule of humans.
The world is run by the Order of Witch-Hunters - a corrupt military organisation who rule by fear and division.
Magic is illegal - punishable by death, or at best imprisonment but magic is everywhere so this is rather a futile law.
Humans - the common humans are 'technically' free - but in practice must are beholden to the local lord, Hunter fort or so poor they may as well be slaves.
Slavery is legal - and encouraged - and the slavers are pretty indiscriminate about who they take.
The books follow the adventures of an on-the-run elven sorceress and a human (sort of) nobleman who is also a mage, a crimelord and a good deal more. Plus several friends and allies who try and get one up on the Witch-Hunters, discover uncomfortable truths, and try and stay alive in a world where their existence is forbidden.
Trolls - matriarchal communities run by the Shaman (who is always magical). Mostly they hide in the mountains and distant communities and try to get on with their lives. Have old alliances with elves and humans and have fought both.
Book three follows the trolls (allies of those in book 1 and 2) as they discover what is stalking their kin. It's all linked to the big - overarching world plot.
The Tales of Erana series features short stories from the world, mostly legend and lore or 'folktales'.
I'm A.L. Butcher, also known as Alex or Alexandra:)
Generally, I'm a fantasy author but I dip into, erotica, horror and poetry from time to time.
