Miael #3
Miael: Lovers
"The deliciously creepy, decidedly twisted and delectably eerie tale of a cursed Phoenix & his dubious influence upon a cursed Seraph."
------------------
Who says a woman can’t have it all?
When the evil specters of Jessica’s past return, threatening to take away all she has built, Jessica has but one snarky, unpredictable hope: the phoenix Miael.
As the 4th rune forms and even Death itself is baying at her heels, will Jessica find the strength to break the curse that has plagued her and Miael for millennia or will she end up burning in the Lake of Fire, right along with him?
---------------------------------------------
Miael is a supernatural horror fantasy fable about a cursed Phoenix and his dubious influence upon a cursed Seraph.

About the author
Grea Alexander
38 books442 followersGrea (pronounced Gray) Alexander is a female writer of African American, Native American and Caucasian...American descent who does not write her profiles in the 3rd person.
Born and raised in Houston, TX, I have successfully wormed my way across many a border and have, in effect, managed to infect all that I survey with my particular brand of grea-ness. My books are very character-driven with a focus on flawed, dynamic, culturally-diverse characters and strong, smart female protagonists.

Some books have more than others. Some characters engage more than others. If you find such offensive, you might not want to read my work. Then again, you just might feel naughty and want to read them anyway. (wink)

Q: How do you pronounce Grea?
Like the color gray. Or as an admirer once pointed out, like great without the t. (grin)
Q: Why the name SeaMonkey Ink?
Why not? (grin) What's not to love? I mean it's Ink squirting out of a Seamonkey. I mean sure no one has ever witnessed such a phenomenon, but that doesn't mean it couldn't happen. (laugh)
Seriously, when I was in school (high school and beyond) I used to play pranks under various code names - one of which was Seamonkey. I also have always enjoyed writing and back when I started to do so, I used to write everything by hand (which requires either lead or Ink) even long after I got my first word processor and computer. After I finally started typing directly, it still took ink to print.
Hence SeaMonkey Ink.
Q: Have you ever actually owned Seamonkeys?
Actually, I have and I'm pretty well convinced that there is a wanted poster with my name and likeness up somewhere in the SIA (Seamonkey Intelligence Agency) headquarters for mass genocide. (laugh) I try but I fail.
Q: Are any of your characters based on people you know/knew in real life?
Not really. Most are composites. However, I will say that more than a little of my own personality/thoughts/expressions pop up in my stories and among my characters.
For instance, in Rebellion Book I: Book of Quay, Phong Quay makes a statement that one day he is changing his name and not telling anyone what he changed it to. I've said that to people since I was like 5 - particularly when I get agitated at being disturbed.
So, if any real life person is used as a template for some of my dialogue and character behaviors it would be myself.

The story of Miael and Jessica comes to an end with a flourish of blood, gore and just desserts. It took me a while to accept Jessica's emotions for some of the characters especially when she was so free with her bedroom favors. But Miael explains that well towards the end. And surprisingly for a horror novel the ending is quite sweet.

This is the 3rd and final chapter in the Miael Trilogy. Though books 2 & 3 both contain elements that can be said to be quite Cabello prequel-esque, I stand by the statement that there are 3 books in the Miael series and there will likely be 3 books in the Cabello series…maybe.
As with the previous 2 books (and as the title says), this one focuses on a particular aspect of Jessica’s relationship with Miael and the world at large. In it, you get to see what happens when the 4th and 5th runes appear, find out more about the curse that binds Jessica and Miael, learn more about the events surrounding Simone’s demise and how they play into the current events and see if the phoenix and the seraph can undo the curse once and for all (or die trying).
Most unique to this installment is the amount of time Jessica and Miael’s spend together and their grown up dynamic as they work to outsmart the FBI agent investigating Jessica for murder (her lover by the way), old enemies and fate (now that Jessica is an adult and fully possessed of the memory of their past lives together).
I had a lot of fun writing this installment and I hope you will enjoy reading it…or never tell anyone you didn’t.
Cheers!
