Are you a great artist? Do you want to make between $200-$500? Would you like to contribute your talents to a unique and exciting fantasy world that has been slowly building over the past decade and a half? Well now is your chance! By close of 2015, I will be hard at work on a new book campaign, for both "Ages of Aenya" and "The Princess of Aenya," through popular social media sites like Facebook and YouTube "book trailers" to brick and mortar book signings. But I am going to need a lot of great new artwork. This is what I am looking for:
1.) A wide-shot landscape of Xandr and Thelana, standing atop the fallen idol of Sargonus, in action poses fighting off merquid. If you don't know who Xandr and Thelana are, just check out my gallery!
2.) A wide-shot landscape, set at night in the clouds, with lightning flashing in the background, and Thelana leaping into the air, sword ready to thrust, down toward a giant bird.
3.) A medium-shot of Xandr, in an action pose, burying a rusty ax into the head of the Septheran (snake man) prince.
4.) A portrait of Horde, a Lovecraftian, "Hulk" like cyborg.
5.) Whatever inspires you, based in the Aenya universe.

Thanks,

Magiq of Aenya Production Diary #1
Greetings, Aenya fans! I have decided to do something different for my upcoming project---I am releasing a production diary, starting with this one, because I am eager to share with you all the exciting details about The Magiq of Aenya. So what is 'The Magiq of Aenya'? It's the fourth book in the Aenya series and the biggest expansion to overall storyline since Ages of Aenya. You are going to learn about things I've only hinted at in my other books: the oasis city of Shemselinihar, the history of the Zo, how and why the Fantastigates work, and Emma's favorite book, 'Thangar and Sint.' We will also be seeing the triumphant return of Ecthros, fantasy's worst archer! I am taking everything I've learned over the past 30+ years of writing and pouring it into this one. THIS is why I quit my day job, folks. This is what I was born to do. I've gambled everything on making it big in the fantasy world and I honestly believe MoA has what it takes to sit on the shelf with the best in the biz.
Thelana: Feminist Icon?
Is a naked heroine sexist?
-----
I can already hear the detractors, the angry feminists calling me out as a sexist. Their argument, I imagine, will go something like this,
Thelana is the lead heroine in Nick Alimonos' fantasy epic, "Ages of Aenya," and she has everything we love to see in a female character: strength, intelligence, and she can dish out punishment good as her male companion. She even passes the Bechdel test! So why am I up in arms about Thelana? Well, when it comes to hyper-sexualizing women, this author's hit rock bottom. We're not talking chainmail bikinis or skintight tights here either, because with this super hero, the
Welcome to Aenya!
The art on this page is inspired and dedicated to the Aenya fantasy series. Since 2003, artists from around the world have contributed their talents to visualizing the people and vistas that populate the Aenya novels.
There is only so much a writer can achieve with words. Images have the power to evoke thoughts and feelings, to inspire and to transport, in ways that even the best of literature fails to achieve. Which is why I am truly humbled by those artists who have set aside their egos and their own projects to reach out and meld minds with me. Their contributions have helped me to make something greater than any one person. I am honored
Naturism
Naturism is one of my great passions. Since both of my parents are of Spartan descent, my summers were spent on the beaches of the Greek isles, where not having a bathing suit was never a problem. But I also learned to appreciate the human form in Classical and Renaissance art, in the depictions of gods and heroes so common in our culture, in paintings of Achilles at Troy and in statues like Michelangelo's David. As a writer, I am continually fascinated by literature with nudist or naked heroes, like Edgar Rice Burroughs' Tarzan and Robert Heinlein's Stranger in a Strange Land, or any fantasy paperback illustrated by Frank Frazetta.
