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.
