Afterword

Hello, my awesome reader. First of all, I just want to thank you so much for downloading and reading The Blood Alchemist Chronicles: An Intended Murder. I hope you’ve enjoyed the story so far and that you’ll go on to get the next book, The Blood Alchemist Chronicles: Master of Disguise, when it comes out soon.
To be honest, I was actually very nervous in getting The Blood Alchemist Chronicles series out. This is because it’s my first ever young adult fantasy fiction with a mashup of a whole lot of other subgenres such as supernatural, superpower, mystery and romance, and I don’t know if readers are going to like it or not. Hopefully, you and other readers will, indeed, like it.
How The Blood Alchemist Chronicles Came About
The idea of The Blood Alchemist Chronicles came to me one night after I’d binge watched a whole lot of anime series (Kuroshitsuji, Shingeki no Kyojin, Tokyo Ghoul, Owari no Seraph, Bungo Stray Dogs, Noragami, and a whole lot of others). Yeah, okay, I’m still a kid at heart and simply love to watch anime and read manga. LOL! What can I say? I have three flying stars in my BaZi chart, which means I will most likely never grow up in that regard.
So, back to The Blood Alchemist Chronicles, the anime inspired me to write a series set in an alternate Victorian era where paranormal creatures exist, along with a good dose of cozy mystery, action, super power, and romance. And voila, the blood alchemist was born.
In my mind, I have plans for more books featuring different groups of blood alchemists set in different eras; hence, there will be more series in the future. Please look forward to it.
So, I just want to say thank you, once again, for downloading and reading this book. I’m looking forward to you reading many more of my books, not only the young adult but the romance as well. You can check out my young adult fantasy books here and my romance books here. Also if you like, please write me emails with your feedback and opinion about my books, because I love receiving them. To write to me, please go here.
Finally, as the Japanese love to say, “Yoroshiku Onegaishimasu” (Please Take Care of Me).

About the Author
Alexia C. Praks is a self-confessed hermit whose undying love for books leads her to naively abandon the generous warnings of failure from numerous individuals and dive into the publishing world to claim a spot as an author.
In the romance realm, she thinks anything goes as long as there’s love involved—be it contemporary, historical, fantasy, paranormal, or a combination of any of these. In the young adult territory, she leans more toward fantasy, science-fiction, dystopia, mystery, and of course, romance.
Apart from writing and occasionally losing herself in her own dream realm, Alexia loves self-cultivation, is fascinated by Chinese metaphysics, and spends her spare time watching anime and TV dramas and, of course, reading books and manga.
