Yesterday, I turned in the first pass page proofs for Chaos Reigning. This is when it really starts to look like a book, because the PDF is formatted like the print book. For example, here are the title page and first page:
Don’t those look like real book pages? Yay! The page proofs are the last time I’ll read the book all the way through, and my last chance to catch any mistakes. I’ve read it so many times at this point that catching mistakes is difficult, but the formatted text makes it easier to see if I’ve overused a word in a paragraph. Which I do. A lot. :)
Page proofs also mean that the text is 99% done. There may be questions from proofreaders that change a tiny bit later on, but it’s mostly set in stone at this point.
And that means I can post the first chapter! 🎉
If you mosey over to the book page, you’ll find all of Chapter One in its (nearly) final glory.
We’re just a smidgen over two months out from release (May 19!!), and I can hardly believe it. I don’t know what happened to January and February, but I would like those months back, please and thank you.
If you haven’t preordered yet, now would be an excellent time. Or ask your library to buy a copy. Or your BFF. Or your dog. (Send me photos of that last one!)
Preorder:
Amazon | Barnes & Noble | Apple Books | Kobo | Google Play | IndieBound
This is the Consortium Rebellion trilogy’s last hurrah, and I would be delighted if it went out with a bang, because that ups the possibility of more Consortium stories in the future. Thank you all for sticking with me for my very first trilogy!! 😍🥰
EXCITING!! YAY!
Great, I can’t wait!
Seeing the page proofs is really cool- as is the first chapter:)
Fingers crossed for Cats book, more Consortium stories would be so amazing!
Congrats!
And Yay!
WOO-HOO! Congrats, what a huge milestone. Can’t wait.
Just finished reading Chapter 1. Oh my oh my. May can’t come soon enough!
I found your books at Barnes & Noble, while browsing for Ilona Andrews-type ideas. I bought both and devoured them in two days. I then purchased and added them to my Kindle. So thrilled to have found your books and waiting semi-patiently for the next book!!
Sooooo good! I have my guesses on some of her “side effects” and already the tension is great. Got it pre-ordered!
I am SO excited! I preordered as soon as the link went live and now I’m just marking time til May 19!
Omg yayyy so exciting!!! I devoured the first 2, which I adored, and preordered the 3rd! Thank you for the excerpt! I can’t wait til May ahhhh
Ps also since finding your Queen series through IA, I am happily addicted to space opera!!! 🤩
