I often get asked, “Alethea, which of your books should I start with?” This is a legitimate question. I’ve published a LOT of stuff. It’s too easy to tell you to jump in anywhere, but you can!

I made it shiny and welcoming and full of enthusiasm, with all the magic of a…

Apparently, her town had a bunch left over from the 4th of July, so they were setting them off in honor of some local event.

Hello, everyone! Welcome to July, and the Month of Artist and Author Interviews here on the website! Today’s interview features one of those really good friends that I knew online long before I met her in person…but we remedied that when she came to DC to visit a few weeks ago.
