March Update

Published about 1 year ago • 1 min read

What I've been up to:

A short and sweet update for my first newsletter of the year, because frankly, It's been piece of bad news after piece of bad news since the inauguration, and I don't have any book, movie, or podcast recommendations to add to this newsletter.

As far as a writing update goes, I've had 5 stories published so far in 2025:

Issue 97 of Andromeda Spaceways Magazine is out in the world, and it includes a story I co-wrote with Kat Veldt called "Maintenance". Do you like sad lesbians in space and adorable aliens? This is the story for you!

"Valiant" is also available in Issue 179 of Black Cat Weekly, and is about a rock band in space that gets ambushed by aliens while on their galactic tour.

Issue 007 of Pulp Lit Mag contains "Invictus", a story about two lovers competing for a spot on the first crewed mission to Mars.

"Specter" is available from After Dinner Conversation, and is about a woman who faces unexpected consequences after resurrecting her wife.

“The Knight's Redemption” is in the latest zine published by the Blackwick Writers Guild, and tells the story of two knights who go on a quest together twenty-five years after they failed to slay a dragon.

A photograph of an ice-covered lake, with bare trees on the shore and a blue sky that has some white streaks of clouds across it. — An icy lake from a hike earlier this month.

What's Next:

I have 1 other story currently due to be released in 2025:

“Sanctuary” – Escape Pod will be releasing a reprint of an old story of mine from 2019, about an android who is tasked with finding and protecting the heir to the galactic throne.

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...
