Twenty years after an attack perpetrated by androids nearly cost Doctor Leander Dade his life, he’s serving with them once again on the first mission to Alpha Centauri. When the ship becomes stranded, he must put his animosity aside to not only survive, but also uncover the true reason behind the accident.

Presenting...

New newsletter format, new subtitle, new me :) I'm gearing up for some exciting things in the coming months, so I figured it was time for a refresh.

I'm releasing a book in 2026! A few weeks ago, I announced on my blog that I would be self-publishing THE CHAMOS PROJECT, my Pitch Wars novel from 2018.

This romantic science fiction story features a forbidden romance between a human and an android, star-crossed lovers who meet on a spaceship that becomes stranded due to a mysterious accident while in the middle of its journey to Alpha Centauri. Sparks fly when they're forced to put their mutual animosity aside to survive.

This book also features an entirely queer cast, characters over 40, and adorable robots. It's best for fans of Becky Chambers, THE EXPANSE, and TITANIC.

What can you do right now to support TCP?

  1. Add THE CHAMOS PROJECT on Goodreads!
  2. Apply to be an ARC reader!
  3. Spread the word to other sci-fi readers!

My target launch date is in February 2026. In the coming months, I will be promoting this book on social media and through my blog and newsletter using character art, excerpts, sneak peeks, the cover reveal, and more!

Follow me on the social media platform of your choice to stay updated about this journey.

Alexis Ames Cosmic Scribbles What I've Been Up To: The Chamos Project has officially been out for over a month! I've been blown away by the response to this book. I have lost track of the number of people who've told me they stayed up way too late each night to finish the book, and I love the mentions it's been getting on social media. I've also had 2 short stories published so far in 2026: “To the person who loves my husband” – The Celestial Glossary “Time Drift” – Fiction on the Web The...
