5 Things You Should Know About Alexandra Forever: Beginnings

1. “Alexandra Forever: Beginnings”, while a stand-alone story, is part of a much larger saga.

2. The novella bridges Alexandra’s origin in the literary novel “Pairs” with the sci-fi world which is first presented in the graphic novel “Alexandra Forever: 2337”.

3. While writing the novella I conferred with a privately held defense and security contractor. It was the owner of the company who gave me the idea for the anti-demon response Alexandra cobbled together from what was available in her workshop.
4. In creating the character of Alexandra's dog, Hercules, I took very slight inspiration from The Call of the Wild.
5. Although its an occult fantasy, forgiveness, importance of family, personal sacrifice and moral duty, are the story's guiding themes.

Would you risk erasing yourself from ever existing to save the immortal soul of a beloved friend?
Two middle-aged sisters, Nadenka and Anastasiya, travel to a remote northern mountain where they must contend with their notorious, and seemingly immortal grandmother, Alexandra, in their quest to save an aged and frail member of their coven, Terra, from demonic possession. Deep family wounds need to be addressed before they can do what is required for the exorcism. But time is running out. The woman they are trying to save is dying. As the clock is ticking down, an evil legion emerges to stand between them and saving Terra’s immortal soul.
