A Presentation (read this first)

Welcome to the Xen'in Universe!

Hi! My name is Alex. I’m a French writer and translator.

This newsletter is a collection of short stories, serial chapters, and a serialized novel.

The first Wednesday of the month, I also send out news on my writing projects or talk about my worldbuilding process, along with a list of planned releases for the month (you can easily opt-out of this if you just want the fiction.)

Some of the content is free, some is not.

There’s quite a lot to dig through if you just got here, so I thought I’d give you a quick overview of some of my best and/or more popular pieces.

Free content

One to four times a week, I publish free short stories. These will often feature recurring characters, though the stories can be read in any order and do not contain cliffhangers.

For instance:

• Count Varushka in By the Light of a Weeping Moon.

• Thimmin & Kelle in Salamandra Sun.

Those are both in the high fantasy genre. If you prefer Science-Fiction, check out these standalone stories:

• Our Secrets Died With Us

• The Hiccup at the End of the World.

I also write weird fiction. Some of my more popular stories are in that genre:

• The Waystation.

• The Creature in the Cabin.

Exclusive content for paid subscribers

I also write a weekly space opera serial called Through the Stars, Darkly. If you want a taste of it, you can read the first four chapters starting here:

Finally, my paid subscribers also have access to a serialized version of my debut novel, Everlife—an epic Science-Fantasy tale about gods, magic, an alien mask, and two murder investigations! Check it out. The first five chapters are free.

A final word

All my upcoming novels (there are many in the works) will also be serialized here. And, of course, there will be plenty more short stories.
