From the Desk of Xander Cross

 

Hello Winter! And it has been a brutal one. It is February 6, 2026 as of this transmission. We got hit with an ice storm two weeks ago, and it's still here! My backyard has been a skating rink.

​

A lot has happened in the past few years. I've largely neglected my website here due to personal concerns, the death of my mother, and two major health issues. I'm working on resolving the latter. I've had to completely rearrange my life. I removed myself from social media a year ago, and do not regret it, although I miss my online friends. If I ever return, I will be completely rebranding myself. That said, without any other ability to discuss my thoughts in the public arena, I am going to attempt regular blog posts here. Fingers are crossed I can keep that up. 

 

In the meantime, I have not neglected my writerly duties. I finished Hayate's "Book 4: The Dame and the Fox Witch" last year. It is being beta-read now. I am writing Book 5 actively, and editing my original Bard trilogy at the same time. 

​

Due to the results of the last election, I scrubbed the Come by Night project, as laws were being introduced to criminalize the spicy romance genre. I can't seem to get into my Wattpad account to pull down the original novellas over there, but if/when I can, I will be doing that thing. Sorry! Maybe one day...

​

Anyway, until next time, please stay safe and well out there. Peace, love, out.
