Happy New Year 2026, Incredible Readers! 🎉
Hey everyone,
As we step into 2026, I wanted to pause for a moment and say something simple — thank you.
When I began writing Rebirth of the Technomage, I never imagined how deeply Raven's story would resonate. What started as a quiet, broken girl trapped in servant's robes has grown into a rebirth story spanning lifetimes, bloodlines, and worlds. Watching Raven reclaim her name, her power, and her right to exist — not loudly, not dramatically, but relentlessly — has been an incredible journey.
And sharing that journey with you has made it something truly special.
Your comments make me laugh.Your theories make me nervous (in the best way).Your reactions when Raven finally chooses herself remind me why I stay up far too late writing "just one more chapter".
This is not a flashy power fantasy. This is a story about memory, consequence, and survival — about a girl who has died ninety-nine times and still refuses to break. The fact that you care about that? About her? It honestly means everything.
So here we are.A new year.New arcs ahead.New truths about Pillar Souls, Devourers, bloodlines, technomagic, and the quiet cost of carrying an entire world on your soul.
The Empire isn't done scheming.The Great Families aren't done bleeding each other dry.The Devourers are still circling.And Raven is only just beginning to understand the full weight of what she is.
Now… here's where I get just a little cheeky 😄
I have a dream for 2026.A goal.A completely reasonable, not-at-all-ambitious hope of getting Rebirth of the Technomage into the Top 50 this year.
Wild? Maybe.Impossible? Not with you.
We've got a protagonist who survives not by brute force, but by will.We've got technomagic colliding with broken cultivation systems.We've got political games, karmic debts, ancient watchers, and found family forged under pressure rather than convenience.And we've got a story that refuses to pretend choices don't have consequences.
So here's my gentle (okay, slightly cheeky) ask:
If you're enjoying Raven's journey —If her quiet defiance resonates with you —If you're invested in seeing her protect her world without losing herself in the process —
Would you consider:
• Dropping a vote when you finish a chapter?
• Leaving a review and sharing what you enjoy about the story?
• Recommending Rebirth of the Technomage to friends who love layered female leads, slow-burn power, and cultivation worlds that actually hurt back?
• Sending tickets if you've got some to spare?
Every bit helps. Truly.Each vote, review, and recommendation brings new readers into this growing community — and helps give Raven's story the visibility it deserves.
But more than rankings or goals, I want you to know this:
Thank you for being here.Thank you for reading.Thank you for caring about Raven — not as a symbol or a trope, but as a person shaped by pain, memory, and choice.
Here's to 2026.Here's to awakenings, reckonings, and the slow rebuilding of broken worlds.Here's to Raven choosing who she becomes — not who fate, blood, or gods decide she should be.
And here's to you — the readers who make this entire journey possible.
May your 2026 be filled with courage, found family, and significantly fewer extinction-level cosmic threats than Raven is dealing with.
Let's make this year unforgettable. ✨
With gratitude, quiet rebellion, and technomage feels,Tracy Dunwoodie
P.S. — Votes and tickets really do make a difference. Raven may carry the weight of worlds, but even Pillar Souls appreciate backup. 😉P.P.S. — If we hit Top 50… I might owe you a bonus chapter from a certain immortal observer's POV as they try to explain Raven to the universe. No promises. (Okay, maybe a promise.)
