Subject: A deeper door, a new way to read

Dear You who keeps showing up,

Over the last year you’ve been quietly reading along—liking chapters, following the threads, keeping this crazy expanding COMC universe alive.

COMC began as a thinly veiled Naples: field notes and hauntings from my own life. With each book the universe widened: London, Novi Sad, Tangier, Tetouan, Dahkla, Tallinn, Tartu, Zürich, Ivangorod, St Petersburg, Gdansk, Istanbul, Tehran, the shadow-geometries of tourism and power politics.

The new book doesn’t just visit places; it visits the whole continent of Africa the cradle of us humans. The following books Quantum Jump and Quantum Magic try to rewrite the world’s hustle and bustle through chaos magic, desire, and interference.

That’s why some of it now needs a quieter room to exist in.

It hasn’t gone unnoticed, even if the “momentum” graphs say otherwise.

The next book walks further into chaos magic, ritual and erotic charge than the WordPress front room is really built for. To keep writing at that voltage without sanding the edges off, I’m opening a 5€/month “inner room” in the form of a paid newsletter tier.

What this means in practice:

• The main path on WordPress stays: you’ll still get free chapters and updates, as you do now.
• The most charged, experimental and intimate scenes will live in the paid tier, where readers choose to walk into that room.
• No one is losing what they already have; something deeper is being added for those who want it and can support it.

Alongside this, I’m starting to read selected, important chapters from earlier books on my YouTube channel. These readings will focus on atmosphere, character, and spine-of-the-story moments—no explicit scenes. Those are for you to read on the page, in your own time, in your own head.

If you’d like to:

• keep the free trail going,
• step into the inner room of chaos magic, annotations and more vulnerable work,
• and help me carve out the time and space to actually finish these books,

If now is not the time, you are still welcome to keep reading on WordPress and to listen in on the YouTube readings when they go live. No ultimatums; just a door that now exists if you ever feel like turning the key.

Thank you for being one of the people who made it worth building that door at all.

Warmly,

Irena Phaedra aka I.Ph.
