Hey, you!
Yes, you, the one who just stumbled in here wondering why this author seems to have a small country worth of characters and worlds under her pen.
I’m Aleksandra (but most of you know me as the Witch of Hellridge) — I write romance, fantasy, urban fantasy, steampunk, contemporary romance, paranormal mystery, and… occasionally… questionable dark comedy.
Here’s your quick guide to the madness:
1️⃣ THE BIG THREE UNIVERSES
The Club of Lost Causes
-
Paranormal mystery / thriller / horror.
-
Found family of private investigators who really shouldn’t work well together… but do.
-
Each book is a “mystery of the week” with a bigger, creepier mystery weaving through all ~20 planned books.
-
Extras: bonus POVs, short stories, creepy in-world docs.
The Ironvale Legacy
-
Sports & contemporary romance (mostly hockey).
-
Focused on the Reed family — pro, college, and retired players finding love.
-
Standalones with recurring characters.
-
9 books planned.
The Nemeton Universe
-
Alternate Earth where, in 2005 the Caulden Incident forced supernaturals to reveal themselves.
-
Three main series:
-
The Halloran Saga – 7 human siblings (or so they think) tangled up with the supernatural world. The Alpha’s Substitute Bride is Maeve’s story.
-
The Mourning City – Detective agency solving supernatural cases in NYC.
-
The Guardians Chronicles – Chronological series starting in 2010 in Caulden, after “the Incident.”
-
-
Plus standalone novels in the same world.
2️⃣ STANDALONES & SPECIALS
-
The Little Pirate (Coven Tier) – Dark romantic retelling of The Little Mermaid with Captain Hook as the love interest.
-
Fucktured – Standalone dark comedy short story.
-
Anthology of Clockwork Legends – Steampunk short story collection.
-
The Gathering of the Last Kin – Solarpunk short story about a dying world.
3️⃣ FANFICTION (Always free)
-
Crows and Dragons – A Song of Ice and Fire
-
The Spellbook Society – Harry Potter
-
Legends of Middle-Earth – Tolkien
…and a few other worlds I love to play in.
4️⃣ HOW I RELEASE BOOKS
-
Current books are free to read while I’m writing them (serialized).
-
Finished books will be traditionally published, then move to my paid tiers.
-
New WIPs will always be free while in progress — so there’s always something to read.
5️⃣ PATREON TIERS
-
Series Tiers – Bonus content for that series only (short stories, alt POVs, missing scenes, in-world docs).
-
The Coven Tier – Everything. All specials from all series + standalone original stories + The Little Pirate.
-
The Hellridge Herald – My newsletter for all paid tiers: updates, behind-the-scenes, random witchy author brain dumps.
If you’re here for one specific series, great! If you’re here for everything, welcome to the Coven.
If you’re just here to read my fanfiction — hey, that’s cool too, and it’s always free.
No matter how you got here, I’m glad you did.
Grab a coffee (trust me, you’ll need it) and enjoy the ride.
– Aleksandra 🖤
