Xander Axeton is a first-time writer and yet to publish. And his is no ordinary story.

Xander has always loved books. A girl he met, when they were in his teens, would later become his wife. The two of them have always shared a love for reading books and listening to audio books. At one point they struck on an idea for Xander to write a little something special as a gift to his wife.

There was never an intention of publishing a book. When the daily entries kept coming they suddenly found themselves with over 1,100 pages of manuscript – and a story. From there, the plot planning and editing began and ideas for books flowed – and are flowing – onto the page.

A stand alone book was created, Embracing A Monster. And a book series entitled, Fates Entwined, a six-part series of which three are written. Xander’s wife is a visual artist and contributes in that way as well.

The books are “dark romantasy” and geared to a 16+ audience.

Xander had yet to publish the books as of this interview.

Look for the books to be released in the summer of 2026.
