Cosmic Scribbles

What I've Been Up To:

ARC copies of The Chamos Project are in the inboxes of my ARC team! While they're busy reading, I have notes back from my proofreader, and I'm working hard to get the final copy of TCP ready for publication.

(If you signed up for an ARC and didn't receive one, please check your spam folder and reach out to me if you still don't see it!)

The Latest:

Latest Watch

My partner and I have been binging seasons 2 and 3 of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives...I cannot tell you how addicting this show is.

Latest Listen:

I still have 2+ months of my usual podcasts (Tooth and Claw, National Park After Dark) to catch up on, but have also been listening to some Pod Save America while road-tripping to see family for the holidays.

Latest Read

The Worst Hard Time - a compelling nonfiction book about the Dust Bowl.

What's Next:

The Chamos Project releases on 2/17/2026! In the coming weeks, I'll be posting fanart, blurbs, and excerpts on my various social media platforms.

Once TCP is out, I plan to pivot to my second book, which is currently with my developmental editor and is tentatively scheduled to come out in August/September.

On the short story front, I have 4 stories slated for publication in 2026:

“Emergence” – Harvey Duckman Presents

“Opportunity Cost” – Disability in Dystopia anthology

“Time Drift” – Fiction on the Web

“To the person who loves my husband” – The Celestial Glossary

I'm looking forward to whatever else this year brings!

March Update

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'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...
