alt_fenIf you have occasionally found yourself missing Alternity and the high quality of writing that the game provided, you might be interested in knowing that a number of the alternity writers have been getting books published! Here's your chance to pick up some of our work, and hey, maybe fill out those empty spots on your holiday shopping list.
Naomi Kritzer (naomikritzer) wrote the characters Savitha Desai, Seamus Finnigan, Rachel (Lamont) Brodie, Remus Lupin, Harry Marvolo, Corax Mulciber, Sally-Anne Perks, Arista Selwyn, Dominic Selwyn, and Ginny Weasley.
Her book Catfishing on Catnet was released by Tor Teen in November, and it's made quite a splash! The book has been named a Kirkus Review Best Book of 2019, and it's been reviewed on NPR. The book is based on Naomi's Hugo Award-winning story "Cat Pictures, Please," and a sequel is in the works. Naomi's website is here.
Jenett (jenett) wrote the characters Albus Dumbledore, Lee Jordan, Aurora Sinistra, Pomona Sprout, and Dolores Umbridge. She writes under the name Celia Lake (website here) The books she has written are 1920s romance with magic, and as Jenett explains, a lot of the worldbuilding is influenced by thinking through Alternity things. Pick up the Kindle editions here.
As for me, Peg Kerr (pegkerr), I wrote Hannah Abbott, Terry Boot, Amycus Carrow, Neville Longbottom, Luna Lovegood, Kingsley Shacklebolt, Arthur Weasley, Bill Weasley, Fred Weasley, George Weasley, Molly Weasley, and Percy Weasley. Two books I wrote twenty years ago are being re-released by Endeavour Media as ebooks (and talks are in the works about also releasing them on a print-on-demand basis). The first The Wild Swans is now available for pre-order on Amazon (publication date January 10, 2020). The second, a reprint of Emerald House Rising will be available in February (no link yet, but keep an eye out). I have re-acquired my old domain, pegkerr.com, and I'll be putting up an author's website, uh, Real Soon Now. As soon as I finish the edits and get them back to London, honest.
Happy reading!
