Starting in July, I’m trying something new. I love writing (obviously) and one of my favorite side projects is putting together pairings that wouldn’t typically appear anywhere else in the series. That’s right, we’re talking non-canon pairings over here. I have two so far; one of which is a freebie for signing up for my newsletter. The other one won’t make much sense to anyone else until Chase’s books are out, so I’ll hold it in reserve for a bit.

Still, I really enjoy working on these projects, and my beta team loves getting to read these little snippets, too. So, I’ve decided to make it even MORE fun by inviting you, my readers, to pick who gets put together in the pairings! I’m a firm believer in love for all, and as these pairings are most certainly NOT canon, there are no gender restrictions on your pairing choices.

Every month, I send out two newsletters to keep you guys up to date on what’s going on over here in author-ville. The first email each month will include a link to a poll – this is how you choose which characters will be in that month’s mashup! If you want to see a character listed for voting, feel free to shoot me an email at alexa@alexaryder.com and I’ll be happy to see about adding them to the lists. The second email contains your custom-designed smutty short story.

If you need more reasons to sign up for my newsletter, The Ryder’s Digest, I also mail out deleted scenes, or scenes that I wish could have made it into the books, but it simply wasn’t practical to do so. I also do character interviews and share snippets from my super-secret Series Bibles, too, so that’s always nifty. Add in my currently reading lists, and the Digest really is the best way to keep up with exclusive news and content.

I’ll catch you guys for the next update in July!
