Welcome back to the Fic List Presents: Author’s Notes, an interview series where I chat with creative-type people about their experiences in and relationships to fandom and fan culture. HAPPY PRIIIIIIIDE! In this episode, I am delighted to chat with author and generally delightful human, Alethea Faust! Sometimes the universe really says, “Oh, hey - did you know there’s a really cool person out there who writes kinky fantasy magic books and jousts at the Renn Faire?” and then you make a new friend, lol “Homecoming,” book five of the Sex Wizards series, is available NOW for pre-order, with release day on June 30th, 2026! You can find the pre-order link, along with all of Alethea’s other books, social media information, and more at www.aletheafaust.com Are you a professionally creative person?
