Q&A!

June 19, 2018 by Alyssa Day Leave a Comment

A Q&A post, taken from your email questions:

Q&A:

Q: I see Berkley finally put The Curse of the Black Swan out in a standalone ebook. Should I rush out and buy it?

A: NO!!! They also screwed it up. The book goes to chapter 6 and then starts again and who knows what other shenanigans. PLEASE WAIT till I tell you it’s fixed. (This one is NOT my fault, LOL.)

Q: Hi Alyssa,

Is it possible to purchase the original Warriors of Poseidon books 4-7 as ebooks? I found 1-3 and 8 but I can’t find 4-7.

A: My publisher reverted rights to me; I need to do the work to get them back up at vendors. I hope in the next few weeks. Thanks!

Q: I have downloaded January and February in Atlantis through amazon to my kindle. Is there a reason that amazon doesn’t have March or April in Atlantis. Let me know please. Thank you.

A: We’re working on it! Thanks for your patience!

Q: I was wondering when the 2 Atlantis books (March & April) were going to be released to Kindle. I am having a hard time waiting for them.

A: I’m having a hard time waiting, too! I’m sorry. Recovery took longer than I’d hoped. March will be out FINALLY next week! April and May will be out next month! I’m hoping to catch up to actual months by August. Thanks!

Q: I LOVE the warriors of Poseidon series! I can’t tell which of the new books will be available in print or just Nook/Kindle. (I’d be bummed if they weren’t in print) Any chance for an omnibus for the year of Atlantis? (*wiggles eyebrows*)

A: They will All be in print! And yes, I’ll probably do a Volume 1, 2, 3, 4 with three books each in them in both print and ebook. Thanks!

Q: When will we get to see Jack again in “Evil Eye”?!?!

A: I’m trying for September. I finally have his story idea!!

Thanks so much, gang! I appreciate it.

hugs, Alyssa

Happy birthday, my darling boy

May 9, 2018 by Alyssa Day Leave a Comment

My baby boy is 21 today. My firstborn, my oldest, my sweet, sweet boy who has gone from cuddly, curious toddler to serious, science-loving child, to brilliant high school and college student. He cooks for me, he’s my buddy to go see “Action Movies with no Redeeming Social Value,” and he’s the kindest boy I’ve ever known. He loves dogs and lets all of them sleep with him whenever they want. He’s kind to children and polite to his elders. He’s one of the only young men I’ve ever known who still says Yes, Ma’am or No, Sir to his elders. He has a huge heart and one of the finest minds I’ve ever seen.

And today he’s 21. But still, when I look at him, sometimes I

see his tiny baby face, smiling up at me.

Happy birthday, to my darling Connor. You were the best Mother’s Day present any mom ever had. And you still are. I love you bigger than the universe.

So there I was, needing a side table to go with some nifty new chairs I got from Wayfair in my current home renovation project. I ran out to World Market and found cute tables . . . for $200.

I wandered over to Target and found cute tables . . . for $125.

I went to the thrift store and found this ugly but cool pine table for $28. (It was $40 but in a lucky quirk it was ‘buy furniture’ day at the thrift store and it was 30% off.)

Thanks for your patience, y’all

While I deal with this health stuff and the inevitable bout of depression that came along with it. March in Atlantis is finally ready to edit/format and will be released next week.

The Eeyore Psychic Story:

April 18, 2018 by Alyssa Day Leave a Comment

When I was in my 20s, I went to a psychic with a casual friend who was a frequenter of all things mystic. My friend said: This is the best psychic I’ve ever been to! She knows EVERYTHING! You have to talk to her too.

I didn’t want to talk to her, because 1) I didn’t believe in it, and 2) I was broke and the psychic was like $75, which was a fortune to me then. But my friend finally talked me into it (margaritas had something to do with it, as I recall) and here is how it went.

The inescapable dork DNA

ACIMH,* Sunday edition:

Me: Will you please fill up the rice canister? There’s a huge bag of jasmine rice on the pantry shelf.

College Ninja: *gets giant bag* How do I open this?

Me: Scissors

Navy Guy: *makes doubtful noise, starts toward kitchen*

Me: Judd. Your son is almost 21 years old. He can figure out how to open a bag of rice.

Navy Guy: *walking off* Maybe…

Me: Did you hear that, Connor? Now your manhood is on the line.

CN: I SHALL PREVAIL. Also, you two are dorks.

Me: DNA, my son. Look at your future. Also, I GREW YOU IN MY BELLY.

CN: *shakes head and sighs* I wondered when you’d bring THAT up again.

March in Atlantis coming April 9th!

March 23, 2018 by Alyssa Day 6 Comments

Hang in there, darling readers!! I came back from vacation to health tests and possibly surgery so March in Atlantis is coming April 29th instead of 3/26. If you’re with Amazon, you’ll need to buy on the day of release–they don’t give authors a break for illness so they canceled my ability to do pre-orders. Other vendors, you’ll be fine. Please sign up for my newsletter to be sure and get the release day notification.

Thanks for your patience!!

hugs,

Alyssa
