I have changed my "Buy Now" links on my website to "Buy Now from Amazon," which hopefully makes the purchase choices clearer.

An ancient artifact leads Ardyn into the forbidden woods. With Jevan, he uncovers ancestral secrets. Truths that draw them together and will change their entire world forever.

Would you dare explore the Forbidden Woods?

Baldur's Gate is quite lovely in the summer, isn't it?

"The Medellan Conspiracy" has two MCs. Ardyn is (hopefully) more relatable to the neurodivergent community (I know, how unoriginal, making the ND character an alien, but he reflects how I've always seen myself). Jevan is a dashing charmer, and I hope some readers also relate to him.

Yes, early in "The Medellan Conspiracy," there is a flashback scene of when Jevan and Ardyn first arrived in the city of Donarvon. Here's the opening of that scene. (Since this is out of context, cycles of the moons = months, and cycles of the sun = days. Their planet has 2 moons).

I started late but I'm ending on time!

For the coming month, I need to buckle down and work on those edits for my manuscript. I also need to double-check my inventory and prepare for my local (Ft. Collins) Comic-Con in August, where I'll be a vendor again.

The last line of "The Medellan Conspiracy:"

“I’m pleased to see you react this way,” the Athla’naa said, lowering his ears with a slight bow in greeting. “My name is Romaerys. Welcome to Aria’naa.”

I'll admit I did not make much progress this week. I began editing chapter 5, but found myself distracted by trying to attain an achievement in a video game instead. 😳

My neck pain was part of the reason I was easily distracted this week. 🥺

"The Medellan Conspiracy" sees our heroes Ardyn and Jevan unable to decide where to live as they hop from the art deco city of Donarvon to the ancient but futuristic settlement of Rahn'naa, with brief stops aboard the Star Cruiser Wah'kah'ria for good measure.

The antagonist in "The Medellan Conspiracy" is a secretive group of xenophobic isolationists known as The Society of Sevens. Throughout the novel we uncover several members of that group including: [spoilers!] 😏😁

Andreesen being hostile toward Keryth for attacking the Seven's missle base without his permission, when he knew very well Keryth was acting in the best interest of both of them, was a bad choice. Their bickering gave the Sevens more time to plan against them.

This week I am hoping to get more editing done. It's been a real struggle, but my back is feeling a bit better so I'm hoping I'll have some ability to focus this week.

This novel is 90 chapters long and I'm only starting on chapter 5. Wish me luck!

Cory’s new boss knows his secret. He also wants him—in more ways than one. 😏

Corporate fantasy. Trans lead. Bisexual billionaire. High heat, high drama, happy ending.

📖 Transcendent is available at select online retailers.

"Ardyn giggled gleefully as Jevan helped him out of his sleep clothes, before tumbling onto the bed and pulling his beautiful bondmate into an amorous embrace, stilling his silly giggles."

Their reading comprehension is also not that great. This was their response to my stating, "I was never a lesbian."

Once again, someone assumed that I'm attracted to women. Sorry, ladies, but I'm only interested in men (plus, my sexuality has absolutely no bearing on my gender identity).

I wrote this three years ago, but it's sadly still relevant: medium.com/prismnpen/th...
Screenshot of a social media comment. The poster's name and person they are responding to are blocked. The comment reads: "someone gave you the idea to transform, didn't they? You didn't just transform overnight. You should have just stayed as a butch lesbian, there is nothing wrong with that."

Now that I'm caught up I can give a real-time check in (yay).

Last week I completed the edit of chapter 4 and began editing chapter 5 (and realized I needed to do a slight rewrite to fix a small plothole). I'm not entirely finished with 5 yet, but plot is fixed!

It still needs a little tweaking, but this will be the cover for "The Medellan Conspiracy." Art by Tobias Roetsh (gtgraphics.de/en/about/tob...).

Book cover for The Medellan Conspiracy by Grayson Bell, Book Two in The Cycles of Revelation series. The image shows a futuristic city surrounded by forest and backed by a range of rocky mountains. Architectural elements include a domed government building in the foreground and tall, art-deco style skyscrapers in the background. A white spacecraft with blue thrusters is flying at an angle toward the government building. Two moons are visible in the sky—one fully visible in the upper left, and a second partially obscured behind the title text.

Not a nod to a book, but in the first novel of my sci-fi series, I have a nod to Smallville in how I designed the "artifact" that Ardyn finds.

An octagonal silver metallic object with glowing blue alien letters. On the bottom end is a copper-colored end that extends slightly. Behind this object is a background of an image of outer space in blues, pinks, and purples. An image of the key to Kal-El's (Clark's) Kryptonian spaceship. It's an octagonal silver object with alien writing on three sides.
