I remember reading Don Quixote, a whopping 1,000 pages! A fantastic, classic read--but LONG.

While it could be argued that three books could just be one volume, I believe a trilogy is meant to capture certain distinct phases of a story. For example, Dante Alighieri's DIVINE COMEDY, which includes: Inferno, Purgatory, and Paradise.(less)

When the Royalties Start Coming In: What Indie Authors Should Do Next

I still remember the moment I saw my first royalties hit my account. It wasn’t a massive windfall. It wasn’t life-changing overnight. But it was real. Tangible. Proof that someone, somewhere, had taken a chance on my story…and paid for it. As an at-home mom at the time, those royalties mattered. They weren’t just “extra.” […]

Quotes by Alesha Escobar  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“I always hated when people told me not to aspire to certain things because I was a woman. I couldn’t imagine what it would be like to be told this simply because of my skin color. One of the many things I’ve learned is that when you’ve been holed up in a safe house with someone who doesn’t look like you or speak the same language, but who was ready to break bread with you and even fight by your side—you quickly realized that there were a lot more important things to gripe about. At the end of the day, people were just people—blood, sweat and tears, heart and soul.”
Alesha Escobar, The Gray Tower Trilogy

“Marquis during”
Alesha Escobar, The Gray Tower Trilogy

“Sometimes he’d dream of hunting for Adam the Usurper twenty years in the future, or of Doctor Simmons sending Aero to burrow into his head and steal his most secret thoughts and desires.”
