The Alexander Chronicle

 I want  to announce my new E-zine Called the Alexander Chronicle.




  The core of my books centers on one family.  I follow members of that family through the generations, relating how remarkable people live through dangerous and challenging times. From the 1600’s England, to the 1700’s Caribbean, to the American Revolution, to the Civil War, to the present day.  Each of these generations will have to learn how relate to the forces around them, and find a way to not only survive, but to pass on to the next generation the qualities that make them unique. I call my writings “The Alexander Family Chronicles”. Hence the name of this E-zine.

  I think I have put together something that is enjoyable, entertaining, and educational all at the same time. I want to share what I think is an incredible world that I have created.  I really feel there is something for everybody.  Action/adventure, history, Young Adult, Romance, you name it. Feedback from you, dear reader, is be not only welcome, but appreciated.
The E-zine is  divided into several separate parts. First is information about the books themselves.  News, reviews, excerpts, basically anything that pertains to each book on a regular basis.
Next is what excites me the most.  I'm offering vignettes of scenes from my books that have never been seen before.  These will be newly written, and revealed for the first time on these pages.  Think of them as “deleted scenes” from a movie.  They will vary in length, and not every book can be featured with each issue, but only space will limit what I can share.
Next, there is be a picture gallery illustrating people or places from the books.  You will be pleasantly surprised at what you will see.
Along these lines, there are You Tube links to videos…that’s right, videos pertaining to the books and the stories therein.
Then comes the fun part.  I call the section “perks, prizes, and puzzles”.  This is where the “give aways” come in.
Contests are held, challenges thrown out.  Sometimes there are significant prizes won. Sometimes the prizes are based on random drawing from the subscribership. The prizes may be copies of any of my books, or gift cards to Barnes and Noble, or, to be honest, anything I can come up with that would be cool. But one thing is for certain…there are prizes or give aways associated with each and every issue
This E-zine is for you as much as it is for me! I welcome your comments and will even publish your thoughts in future issues.  If you would like to submit a guest column pertaining to these topics, you are welcome to do so.  This will be an interactive E-zine as much as I can accommodate it.
Ultimately, the success or failure of this venture will depend on subscribership. I am asking, nay begging, for your help in enlisting subscribers.  Pass the word in your social circles.  Pass the word on Facebook.  Pass the word on your blogs.  However you can, please help me stimulate interest, but in doing so, it is imperative that the new people send me their email addresses!  I can’t send them anything if I don’t have their address, or their permission to send it.
