Book 1, Chapter Three: The Taming of Bucephalus, Pages 43 and 44
“Go on, teknon. Make your choice!”
Little Alexander cannot contain his excitement. Finally! His very own horse! He bounds across the pen left and right, until he reaches the end of pen, where
an ominous steed has sheltered itself
under the awning of the stables.
Author’s Voice:
Not just any steed, by the way…
This is a hulking shadow of a horse, with a draconic face, blue reptilian eyes and a white star on its brow.
And Alexander can see right there and then…
it’s his.

!! PSA !!
Sept 16 is the first anniversary of the debut of my graphic novel, Seance Tea Party, a suburban fantasy coming-of-age about girls, ghosts and growing up.
If you like the art for Alexander, you’d most likely enjoy this. It’s in a vintage Golden Books-esque style with more than a few experimental page layouts. Also, it’s autumnal and Halloweeny.
I’d appreciate if you could check out my GN… maybe even buy a copy? It came out during the pandemic so while the response has been alright considering the *global situation*, it didn’t sell as well as it could. (I’m saying this because sales means I get my royalties and more book deals… sigh, the realities of traditional publishing)
Seance is best for preteens or young adults who are coming to terms with the uncertainty of getting older – spoiler alert: growing up is a blessing.
Or it’s for anyone who likes cozy, Amblin-like stories.
It’s available on Bookshop.org or any independent bookstore or library. Print and ebook. A French translation just came out too.
Thanks y’all!!!
Footnotes:
Teknon (τέκνον)- son/daughter, in a ‘This is a person I take care of, and we’re most likely blood-related’ sense.
