"The Elders Sequence" Author S.A. Ferguson appears on The Brown Posey Press Show

March 11, 2025

“In a Power Couple, one may rise. The other may fall.”

In the first of the Aluzamoak Series, “The Elder’s Sequence” (on Compassionate Alien Press) sets a deep aesthetic for a universe that recalls the heaviest of science fiction and fantasy. Author S. A. Ferguson tells of worlds that show advancement, but can also fall to frailties, such as ambition, jealousy, fear, and a drive for power.

Mira has vowed to lead the planet of Aluzamoak and its empire with her spouse, the native-born Zaraith. To break these vows means death.

As Zaraith begins to exploit and possibly abuse his authority, Mira becomes the questioner. Above them are the nebulous elders who elected them, but they remain in the shadows. Mira must navigate the politics of several cultures and decide whether to stay loyal to Zaraith or oppose him.

S. A. Ferguson has been an author since childhood. They hold an MA in English with a concentration in creative and technical writing. They practice Vajrayana Buddhism, along with Holotrophic Breathwork, and other healing practices. They live near Cleveland, Ohio.
