Project Update: Off to the Editor!
Hi everyone! It's been a hot minute - literally, as I'm suffering a heatwave in the UK right now - but it's time for a small update!
Everyone with the relevant tiers should have received their backer rewards for digital rewards and physical prints, as well as any add-on books by now. If you're still missing these, or have any issues with them, please get in touch and I'll sort you out.
All that's left is to finish the book! Beta readers have finished reading through The Chosen One Con, and I've already implemented their feedback. Here are some reactions from betas:

Holy fuck. That was one hell of an intro. I’m hooked, no questions asked.
Congrats, I’ve choked on my tea.
Max is so dramatic. I love it.
FFS, Max you fucking idiot.
Lyle is so great. Seriously. You’ve written two brilliant characters. I love how alike and completely different they are.
I love how much he hates pineapple.
Must agree with Lyle here; dates are evil food.
Oh Lyle is clever!
AHHH LYLE MY BABY BOY NO.
Oh Jesus, shit is escalating rapidly.
Tru!!
AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
How did you somehow make it a perfect Bond film name for this setting?
Oh, you're gonna piss off people with this line, regardless of how true it is.
Listen. I read a lot. Like a lot a lot. Usually I can tell how a book is going to end before I’m halfway through. I know the Big Bad and much of the twists. This book? I DON’T KNOW! ANYTHING COULD HAPPEN!
I absolutely love .... the politics so far (and how you weave current political hot topics into a fantasy world)
I'm pleased to say that The Chosen One Con is now with my lovely editor! While she is working away, I'll be plotting out the sequel (because this is a duology!) and preparing to get this book ready for backers in August with a general sale a month after release. I really can't wait to introduce you to Max and Lyle's story.
I'll share more updates as I get closer to finishing this book, but until then, enjoy/survive your summer if you're in the northern hemisphere!
