Hey everybody everybody!!

It occurred to me that maybe you'd all like to meet the "A" in A.C. Weston - my husband, Alex:


​

(He says he doesn't deserve a whole letter, that he could just be one of the periods. That's probably true, ha!, but I like him a lot so I'm keeping him around as the A.)

Alex is the one to credit for the graphics/music/editing of my promo video, the composition of the illustrations on my coloring page, and a lot of really good, solid stuff in my book. For example, my five main characters hashed out their differences and teamed up all nice and sunshiny in Episode III before this guy dug in and challenged it.

He was completely right. Deeper conflict is better!

Alex works at the Alexander Ramsey House, a historic site in St Paul, MN. He has worked at Historic Fort Snelling, the Mill City Museum, and other Minnesota historic sites. He's my go-to history guy, and his knowledge and understanding root many of my book's dynamics in real world events. He also plays in a band called Union Shakedown, so check them out!

His main job, though is stay-at-home dad to our two little bugs, Tallie and Rosie. He's a really incredible person. I don't know what I'd be without him, but it wouldn't be anything close to what I am.

...So that's Alex!

My friend wrote a book! It's a fun space adventure with complicated characters and deep themes exploring the tension between justice and mercy. Watch her promo video here, where she references every single science fiction thing she could fit into two minutes:

Now, as for recommendations!!

Disintegration by Steve Soldwedel - A group of military officers are thrown together on a mission to raid the enemy stronghold and make off with a precious resource. A'arilon Ray suspects it's a suicide mission but it is just the beginning of a much greater adventure.
(I've recommended this one before, but I've been reading more of it and I really like it.  Give this book a chance - I think you'll enjoy it.)

Dax Harrison by Tony Valdez - In a space-faring future, an alien war criminal seeks vengeance on humanity, and a celebrated-but-bumbling hero is forced back into action... whether he likes it or not.
(Is it going to be a problem if I entirely imagine Chris Pratt-Peter-Quill-Starlord as the main character, Dax Harrison, throughout this book? I hope not because that bridge is crossed.)

Faeries in the Gloaming by Chandra Peltier - In 1885 Eliza and Alfred must travel from London to Scotland when their father is kidnapped by the faeries.

(I'm a sucker for gorgeous art, and this book has gorgeous art. Also, you guys don't know this yet because I have so much yet to reveal, but Merlin, Puck, and Loki are all characters in my books. They're all one character, in fact... The character goes by none of those names, but they're in there as an immortal alien with strange powers and a penchant for meddling in human lives...)

Happy Friday!
