Welcome to 2024!
2023 was a significant year. We decided to reopen our doors to offer ‘a different kind of Christian fiction’ once again. We know there is a need for this type of fiction – and a publisher offering to publish it – in this day and age, especially with the state of the world spiritually, politically, economically, and even artistically.
As we enter into 2024, and open up a new chapter of this journey, we have some exciting projects planned for the next twelve months, including some new author publications...
Dante Lupinetti’s Soul Reader Series
We have acquired Dante Lupinetti’s Christian thriller series, Soul Reader!
Zeke Jackson, a young mild-mannered reporter with a checkered past, wants to be an on-air reporter but is hindered by a stuttering problem. His boss sends him to a televangelist to be healed, and after being slain in the spirit, is cured of his stuttering but also acquires an unexpected supernatural ability to see the state of people’s souls and detect their lies.
The CIA, who has worked extensively with psychics, notices Zeke’s gift and hires him as an asset to help prevent an assassination plot on the president and vice president. But not everything is as it seems. As others seek to use and/or exploit Zeke’s gift, he wrestles with questions of why he has it in the first place, and more importantly, what the source of his miraculous gift must be.
Expect to see the three novels in Dante’s Soul Reader series to be released in the coming months.
Mark Carver and Michael Anatra’s Beast
Beast is coming back to The Crossover Alliance!
Man up.
MFEC-19, aka "The Beast," is an offshore oil platform behemoth in the Pacific Northwest. Kyle Hamilton, an experienced derrickhand who has survived a brush with death, is its newest resident. Forced back into the drilling world to pay for his wife's cancer treatment, Kyle is thrilled and terrified to be part of the team that keeps the monster in check. But the Beast bows to no man. One slip, one mistake, and hell breaks loose above the storm-swept water.
Kyle and his crew find themselves in the fiery jaws of death as the Beast thrashes itself apart, unleashing an industrial cataclysm unlike anything the world has ever seen. Using his quick wits, hoping for good luck, and praying for a miracle, Kyle tries desperately to save himself and those around him.
But the will to survive comes with heavy costs. And the Beast will show no mercy.
Beast will be releasing soon!
David N. Alderman’s Expired Reality Series
We will be releasing the first three books in David N. Alderman’s Expired Reality series, including the never-before-published Dark Horizons!
When ex-hero David Corbin receives an unexpected wedding invitation from the girl he once loved, he sets out on a journey to South Ryshard to crash the event and proclaim his true feelings to her. With help from his close friend, Veronica, and a girl named Kimberly, David battles his way through crooked agents, a crazed farmer, and a demon hybrid to reach the wedding on time. Only when he runs into Turquoise, a mysterious woman on her own mission to stop the wedding and procure an enchanted timepiece, does he realize that the fate of humanity hangs in the balance.
Carrie Green is days away from marrying Jerad Montlier, one of the richest men in the world. Lacking memories of her past, and displaying a peculiar spiral birthmark on her shoulder blade, Carrie is spun into further confusion when a diary with her name on it falls into her possession. Reading the entries inside sparks a recollection of her past and reveals the horrifying trap that’s been set.
Heroes’ paths collide at the beginning of the end...
The first three books in this series—Endangered Memories, Lost Birth, and Dark Horizons—will be released in paperback and digital formats on January 16th!
Aside from the books we have coming your way, we have some exciting additions to the publishing company…
NON-FICTION
In the previous existence of our publishing company, The Crossover Alliance only published fiction. But as we’ve looked around at the world and the state of it, we realize there is a need for “a different kind of Christian non-fiction.”
People have stories of tragedy and triumph, some of which secular and traditional Christian publishers won’t touch because of the content of such stories. Your story is important to us, and it’s important to our base of readers, so in 2024, we’ll be accepting non-fiction stories. Memoirs, autobiographies, testimonies—we’re open to all of it!
SHORT STORIES
We’ve gotten quite acquainted with publishing novels and novellas, but we’ll also be publishing standalone short stories this year. We find life is busier than ever, and some readers prefer shorter forms of fiction, so we are now taking flash fiction and short story submissions in almost every genre. These stories will be available for purchase both through our website as eBook downloads, and through various retailer websites, such as Amazon.com.
Look for our first short story, Silver & Gold, this month!
ANTHOLOGIES
Along with standalone short stories, we will be diving back into publishing short story anthologies. These anthologies will usually be themed, and will cover all sorts of different topics.
Our first anthology—which we are currently taking submissions for—is divorce-themed. If you have a story (or know of anyone who has a story) that is fiction and revolves around the theme of divorce, head to our submission page.
Our deadline is January 31st!
VIDEOS / PODCAST
We know in order to reach new readers/authors this day in age, we need to do more than just write content. This year we’ll be venturing into the realm of vlogging and podcasting. We’ll cover a wide range of topics surrounding Christian publishing, offer previews of our upcoming releases, offer readings of some of our books, and announce anything exciting happening within the walls of The Crossover Alliance. Plus, we’ll get some discussions going with all of you, our fans, and get your take on various topics.
You can expect to see us diving into this arena Spring/Summer of this year.
Aside from these exciting changes to The Crossover Alliance, we also have a few 'secret' projects we'll be working on behind the scenes.
So many exciting things coming your way!
