It’s been 2+ years since you looked at me…

[To the tune of “One Week” by Barenaked Ladies]
It’s been two years plus since you looked at me…Cocked your head to the side and said, “I’m busy”

LOL.

Am I right? Right? Right??

Where in the blooming fresh hell has the time gone?

I’ll tell you what though, I’ve been in and out of the whole author biz for quite some time. Doing some sprucing up of my author name website over at aliciascarborough.com (take a looky if you want to)

Though let’s kick off by saying…

Series Update

And re-working the CLICK series into the Shadow Bound Chronicles series.

	Book 1, Shadow Bound, released March 2024. Available from multiple online retailers. Grab your copy now!
	Book 2, Night Shift, releasing October 31, 2024. Yeah, Halloween, which totally matches the eerie theme of book two. Preorder your copy today on Amazon!
	Book 3, Hunt for Wrath, is a re-write of the original first book for CLICK. But I wouldn’t recommend skipping it because you already read the original. Things have been shifted and changed. So, it’ll be worth the read… looking to publish book 3 in December 2024, but no promises.

Update on Mystical Mishaps

What about the Mystical Mishaps series? The ladies are taking a break but will be raring to go when I get book 6 of Shadow Bound Chronicles out the door.

Future of Charmed Embers Publications website…

The initial purpose of this website was to be more of an ezine. So, that’s where we’re going… back to ezine!!! Yay!

Now, here’s the saucy bits, there are plans to offer up a weekly ezine round-up for you because you don’t have time everyday to check back here. Instead you’ll receive the email in your lovely inbox and you can click on the article or story that will tickle your fancy.

There are plans to spin back up the MerWere Saga BUT WAIT THERE’S MORE… such as additional short episodic stories are going to be joining the offerings. A cozy high-school romance, supernatural small-town mysteries and more. With that said, MerWere Saga will not be a daily episodic post but a weekly post to allow the other stories to have their time in the limelight.

Guest Author Stories…

We’ll also be having guest writers providing THEIR episodic stories here too. Just keep in mind, these stories are not edited so, be kind. Besides, you get to be involved in the whole process and be able to comment on these stories and discuss with your fellow peers, how friggin exciting is THAT???

Wrapping up…

Lots of movement going on and hopefully yours truly won’t get shiney squirrel syndrome again and abandon ship mid-project… though you never friggin know.

Oh… and if you like my randomness… you should totally follow me on Insta Threads (@ally.scarborough)…. though I’m giving you FAIR WARNING, I curse like a sailor on there… so be aware that my Insta Threads is not for ones who dislike swearing.

I’m Back!

Dec 2, 2021 | News

After a super long long long hiatus I have finally am back to working on Charmed Embers Publications.

With that said here’s what’s been going on behind the scenes…

CLICK series is in the midst of a rewrite AND a series rename
Play With Me, A story part of the Children of Chaos series, is almost ready to be sent to the editor
Mystical Mishaps has been placed on hold; Looking to bring this back in 2022
Forbidden Valkyrie has also been placed on hold; Looking to bring this back in 2022

On a side note the other reason why I’ve been away is that I had to regain access to my site. The key that allowed me to make edits and do other server wizardry went missing. So, that’s another reason why I’ve been gone for so long.

Though, let’s rejoice knowing that CLICK is now underway with it’s rewrite and that a new story Play With Me will be released in April 2022.

Site Revamp!!

Mar 26, 2020 | News

You may have noticed the new header on the site.

If you haven’t then you probably now see it … LOL.

Anyways with the shut down of everything around me (except my day job) it allows for more time for projects that have been sitting on the back burner.

One of them was the emails.

So if you’ve subscribed you’ll see a heck of a lot more emails from moi.

Another item was the blog.

It’s been sitting here since the last update … was it September???

Good grief… it’s been a while.

Well, with all this stay at home stuff…

… let’s just agree that this is an AMAZING opportunity to get the blog back up to speed so that YOU can get entertained 😉

Because really this is about you… and keeping you happy and free of boredom.

Here’s to a new site redesign on the horizon!!

YAY!

Goodbye 2018. Hello 2019!!

Jan 1, 2019 | News, Supernatural & Paranormal

Goodbye 2018.

Hello 2019!!

It’s a brand new year and of course new goals are in order.

What does Charmed Embers Publications have planned for you this year, 2019?

First, I would like to announce that this blog for 2019 is going to be far more busy than it was in 2018. You’re guaranteed that each week there will be new content on this site.

So, what’s the schedule?

I’m so glad that you asked for I’m super excited to announce the following awesome posts that will hopefully be happening on a weekly and bi-weekly basis.

Here’s the monthly itinerary:

**✧･ﾟ: ✧･ﾟ: MONDAYS :･ﾟ✧:･ﾟ✧**

Mondays are the doldrums when it comes to the start of the week. Which is why I feel that it would be best if we kick off with an inspirational post that starts with a quote from a well known person. I will give my spin on what I think it means and will encourage you to add what you think as well.

**✧･ﾟ: ✧･ﾟ: TUESDAYS :･ﾟ✧:･ﾟ✧**

Tuesdays will be set aside for announcements, events that you can attend on Facebook and in real life, upcoming book releases, sales on current books and book tours.

**✧･ﾟ: ✧･ﾟ: WEDNESDAYS :･ﾟ✧:･ﾟ✧**

Wednesdays are for the Top 5 Urban Fantasy Books (first Wednesday of every month), the book that I’m currently reading, book reviews and if we have time then an author interview (last Wednesday of every month).

**✧･ﾟ: ✧･ﾟ: THURSDAYS :･ﾟ✧:･ﾟ✧**

Thursdays will be set aside for miscellaneous posts such as shared short stories, story related posts such as maps / notes/ spells or even characters.

**✧･ﾟ: ✧･ﾟ: FRIDAYS :･ﾟ✧:･ﾟ✧**

Fridays… ah Fridays. This day I’m most particularly excited about for it will be the day that I will post a chapter from my debut series MerWere Saga. The MerWere Saga is about a mermaid and an average American teenage boy. Fun drawings will accompany the story posts.

Dustin is your average American teenager who works at the carnival for his summer job. Little does he know that his life is about to change in a big way.

Shimmer, the mermaid, who happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time got bitten by a werewolf. Every full moon she turns into a wereshark. She has to figure out a way to get rid of the curse before she ends up hurting her friends and family.

Join Shimmer and Dustin, every Friday, as they deal with their teenage life problems such as school, bullies, families while they also deal with other evil paranormal stuff too.

**✧･ﾟ: ✧･ﾟ: SATURDAYS :･ﾟ✧:･ﾟ✧**

Saturdays are for Creature Features. These will be a bi-weekly post featuring various creatures from myth, fantasy and sci-fi universe. Each post will have fun drawings to illustrate each creature and their unique abilities.

**✧･ﾟ: ✧･ﾟ: SUNDAYS :･ﾟ✧:･ﾟ✧**

Sundays will be a rest day… sort of. On this day the newsletter will go out to all subscribers with a roundup summary of that week’s posts.

In conclusion…

As you can see 2019 is going to be jam packed with lots of stuff. I hope that you will enjoy the content that is planned for this year. 2019 is going to be AWESOME!!

On a side note I would like to let you know that I do plan on finishing up and releasing books 2, 3, 4 and 5 for the Mystical Mishaps Series for this year, 2019. Also for CLICK Series my goal is to release books 2, 3, 4 and 5 as well. It’s a hefty goal and I hope to accomplish it. It can be done if I’m deligent about my time.

Let’s go 2019!! Woooooo!!!
