January 26th 2026 Update

The first pass of editing on Born of Chaos is complete! I expect to finish the next pass by February 16th, at which point I’ll be sending the manuscript to my editor. I’ll be putting up a pre-order sometime this week.

That said, I do have one conundrum, and I’m leaning toward making the change. Other than the perspectives thing I linked this past week. After reviewing the book, I’m inclined to take the suggestion of a friend and retitle the book as Echoes of Chaos, as it feels far more fitting for the content. It might be a minor thing, but I need to make a decision before putting up the pre-order.

Beyond that, there isn’t much to say. I’ll be relaxing and looking at my next project this week. Cheers, everyone!

  1. To keep my reply vague enough to avoid spoilers, I think it works because each part of the book has something to do either with Evelyn’s past, or past decisions. Part 2 is the weakest in that regard, but it isn’t like I set out with the goal in mind.

  2. Well, it isn’t like Evelyn sets out to cause/encourage/encounter chaos. Based upon your reply to the previous poster, Echoes of Chaos does seem to be a more appropriate title. Either way, I’ll anxiously await the preorder.

  3. It will be, yeah. I might release it a bit earlier via my webstore, but a lot of the delay is ensuring the book is available on all the storefronts, plus me making sure I have plenty of time to finish the editing.
