Updated X (Captain Ruik's Adventure) book description on Amazon

"Thrill of the chase is on across dangerous seas with pirate huntress Captain Lanna Ruik and her crew aboard the tall ship Eagle's Claw to reclaim stolen treasure while confronting violent thieves.

Does X Captain Ruik's Adventure have a cannon-roaring sea battle? Aye!

Does X have a clash of steel land battle? Aye!

Does X have a happily ever after? Well, you are going to have to find out for yourself after a few surprises.

Captain Lanna’s rough upbringing has transformed her into a self-made leader who is thoughtful, quick, strategic, bold, intelligent, compassionate, tactical, and a skilled swordfighter. In this fantasy world, a female captain is rare, but Lanna is by no means impersonating a male.

Since the Eagle’s Claw crew is not military; the sailors are rough around the edges, however, the gruff crew are looking to get paid by their captain after assignments, so while on duty, following orders is a must up to the point of death.

Dive into the heart-pounding action awaiting you!"

Specks of Shadows, Flecks of Light phase 1 done!

Completed transcribing and re-writing Specks of Shadows, Flecks of Light. I had no 'saved file' for the printouts, so I needed to type all the text in. Word count over 48,000 spanning 60 episodes on Vella. Next is the series of editing: grammar, texture, refinements. Going to call this "on target" for end-of-month publishing.

Where did my author name Aegelis come from?

Aegelis was a character I had made on EverQuest in the early 2000s as a result of shifting around letters and considering words like Angel, Eagle, Aegean, and Aegis. I always liked the ae combo and use wherever possible.

Pronunciation is
A (like the first letter of the alphabet)
Jee (like jeep)
Liss (like list without the t)

My pronunciation can be heard on my YouTube videos and was a fun topic of discussion on the interview for X (Captain Ruik's Adventure).

My nom de plume came about after publishing when a friend could not find books under a simplified version of my name as Tony Cook. I double-backed, trying to find something more unique and unused. Having found the character name, I made transition which seems to be successful for all parties.
