So sorry to say I won't be able to make it to the Bay Area Book Festival this May after all! I hope to attend in 2027. And if all goes to plan, I'll be in the Bay Area this October.

If you’re following me because I made some sort of nerdy remark, well, you’re gonna see more of those. If you’d like to take a look at what I’ve written, here’s a good rundown of my current and forthcoming books: jendiagammon.com/2024/09/25/c...

By the way, one of my own Oz stories is in this. It’s one of the lighter ones, and I think old-school Oz book fans will appreciate it.

Been an exciting week as head of a publishing imprint (@starsandsabers), with lots more going on behind the scenes as well, and the hum of activity ringing in my ears. Rewarding stuff. I do need to pivot back to writing my own words too, so this is the dance. I'm proud to do what I do.

You are all Oz-some!! Thanks so much to everyone who helped us get here, whether by donation or simply sharing our posts. Can't wait to get this book in readers' hands!

WE DID IT! We reached our crowd-funding goal for Omniboz: Tales from the Land of Oz just now! Thank you so much to everyone who donated or shared! I can't wait to get this book out into the world via Stars and Sabers!

Great new Oz stories for adults! Chip in if you're able.

I just pledged to Stars & Sabers' next story collection, and they're very close to the finish line, so if you can, pledge today!

The official announcement of my forthcoming novella!

Proud to publish @garethlpowell.bsky.social's novella, DOWNDRAFT, via Stars and Sabers Publishing in October 2027!

Woke up to see that we are at 93% funded for this great book! Last day to fund!

This is in its last few hours and is so close to funding it's tantalising. I've backed it myself; it's a very interesting idea and has a bunch of fab writers in it.

I think I’m going to step out of my comfort zone this week and try a new tack.

We’re at 90%!! Help us bring this beautiful and unique book to life! Today’s the last day…

Some people who liked IMAGINE A FRIEND.

89% funded and only 20 hours left. We can do this! Let's help @starsandsabers bring these amazing stories (including Adrian Tchaikovsky's weirdest ever tale) to the world! www.indiegogo.com/en/projects/... #booksky

May the Fourth be with you!

Update, we’re at 88% and within striking distance!!

We’ve reached 87%!! Let’s go!!

Friday! I’ll be signing two books at The Last Bookstore Studio City: THE VALE OF SEVEN DRAGONS and DUNGEON CRAWL AT THE HAUNTED MALL. Excited! #books #fantasy #horror #losangeles

NEITHER OLDER NOR LARGER is the second story I've written with a multigender character. It's still incredibly sparse representation even with so many emerging trans and non-binary stories. It's an incredibly personal story. If you haven't already, please consider backing the Indiegogo campaign here

I am forever glad that Jendia encouraged me to write and submit it anyway and also grateful for Ernie's editing note at the end that read, "An absolute delight! Loved it!" The first feedback is the reason this story will be out in the world. The second feedback told me I'd done it justice.

NEITHER OLDER NOR LARGER appears in Omniboz: Tales from the Land of Oz. I remember reaching out to Jendia while the submission window was open and almost talking myself out of writing this piece because a gender diverse Ozma might have already been covered by one of the early announced authors.

Last hours before the crowdfund ends: Are you interested in reading: 🗡️ The bisexual general of an all woman army 👑 A bi-gender monarch 🦍 The Mystique of the Oz universe 👹 The most grotesque thing *one* author has ever written 💪 and so much more… Find it all in Omniboz: Tales From the Land of Oz!

Now 82%!!

Currently at 81% funded with hours to go to fund Omniboz: Tales from the Land of Oz, which we’ll publish via @starsandsabers.bsky.social!

Boosting!

Since we can’t have nice things, IndieGoGo no longer does flex funds. That means it’s all or nothing for OmnibOZ from @starsandsabers.bsky.social. If you wanna read my story about the Wizard w/ allusions to Jack the Ripper & H. H. Holmes, you have a little over a day to get us from 80 to 100%.

Oh, we are at 79% now... getting closer! Thank you!!

Update: Pledged!

In case you missed it, there's still time to back this great project!

Just reached 75%!!! Sooo close...

We’ve just reached 73%, today’s the last day! Getting so close!!

Signal boosting an awesome project for a friend!

I’ve ordered stickers of my own Ozma art at part of this also!
