Lots of new covers, and a shipping update!
3 days ago – Mon, Oct 05, 2026 at 10:10:48 AM

Hi Folks!

It's been a bit since I got an update out. Sorry about that! But, we also had a little downtime between sending out packages, so there wasn't a lot to report.

Now, however, I have some fun new things for you!
First off, we have the cover finalized for the Space Wizard Novellas! You might remember we didn't quite get to the stretch goal to completely fund it during the campaign, but with some extra funds from the addons in the pledge manager, we were basically able to pay for the cover cost. Spoon of Spoonwood visuals once again did an amazing job, and we can now show off the final for you!



If you've read any of the novellas, you might find a few hints and easter eggs on the cover. There will be more on the back of the hardback! These should be ready to order in a week or so, and I'll have a small supply for conventions and things.

Second we also have the final cover for Pressure Magic, which releases on October 13th (about a week!). Serene did a great job with this one, as usual!


We've got three more books coming in November and December from the June campaign. I hope to order them all in the next few weeks to get them here in early November and ship out the rest of the rewards to everyone!

Follow the campaign!


I'll be back with more updates later, and an announcement when the new campaign starts on October 29!

Physical books mailed, and new covers!
about 2 months ago – Wed, Aug 19, 2026 at 01:07:51 PM

Hi Folks,

I sent out a bunch of packages last week, including the following titles:
Lucianus by C.J. Beshara
Aliens in New Florida by Carmen Loup
Gunmaker by Chris Gerrib
Romance and the Gentle Art of Rocket Racing by Rena Rocford



So we're ahead of schedule this year, as Romance technically doesn't release until mid-September! I'm still waiting on the final touches for two covers to get the sticker sheets, but once I have those, I'll be shipping out another batch of rewards.

I will also be sending out the eBook of The Overarch Omnibus (previously tiled The Quirk & Moth Omnibus) later this week or early next week. Because we hit the stretch goal to get a new cover designed, all backers get a copy! And it's a really fun cover. We've got the final design, and I'm just waiting on the hardcover wrap to order the physical books. They're chonky, coming in at 1116 pages!


I've also just got the full wrap for my next book, Pressure Magic, which releases in October! Serene did an amazing job, as usual. She's going to add a few more touches in the sky, but it's basically complete. We'll get the final titles added soon as well. Take a look!



Finally, if you enjoy Space Wizard books, please follow our next two campaigns! We'll be putting up an exclusive interview with Mary Robinette Kowal soon for The Sapphics Strike Back audiobook campaign:

And we'll be posting author interviews starting in late August/Early September for our Year 5 Part 2 campaign, starting October 29th. This campaign includes Quirk & Moth Book 4, so if you enjoy the omnibus, this is a great time to preorder the next one!


I'll be back with more exciting news soon, along with maybe even a new, spicy direction for Space Wizard! Stay turned!

Surveys going out!

NEW Book-chooser!

Since we have so many books to choose from now, I've had several readers saying it's hard to pick out which book they want. SO! If you selected a pledge level where you can pick a book (or three) from our catalog, I've added a new prompt with 2 options:

Method 1: shows how to use our filters on the Space Wizard website to pick what you want
1) go to the Space Wizard Book Page (see below screenshot)
2) Pick Fantasy or Science Fiction in Book Genre.
3) OR, pick Book Type and choose between Stand Alone, Series, Anthology, or MG/YA. (Note: novella-length titles are not included in the main survey paperback choices. They are included in the "One Paperback Book" or "One eBook" addons)
4) OR, pick what LGBTQIA+ representation you want to see between M/M, F/F, Bi/Pan, Ace, Trans, Nonbinary, or Poly!
You can then filter further by using one of the other categories, or pick a single Book Series you're interested in. When you click on a book, that page will also let you preselect filters for a similar book, if that's not quite the one you want.



Method 2: I'll send you a "blind date" book
1) Pick the "Choose a book for me" option and fill out 3-5 titles, authors, genres, tropes, or some mix.
2) List any Space Wizard books you own to avoid duplication.
3) There's a new option for "I can't decide. Pick for me!" and I'll curate your book selection for you.
4) NOTE: this option is not available if you picked the "One Paperback Book" or "One eBook" addons. For this, use Method 1 above to select which book you want, if you can't decide.

Let me know what you think when you get your survey! This a work in process, so I want to make it as smooth as possible to match you with your perfect book(s).

T-Shirt Firesale!

We are also selling off the LAST of our Space Wizard and Lesbians in Space T-shirts, as the manufacturer has changed. You'll see a bunch of options like this in the addons section. These are LIMITED to 1-3 of each, so when they're gone, they're gone!

MOAR Campaigns!

We've got two more campaigns in the works for 2026!

The first is following on our Audiobook campaign this March for Mary Robinette Kowal to record Lesbians in Space: Where No Man Has Gone Before. For those of you who backed it, she's just finished up the last corrections and pickups, and we hope to get the audio files out to you in a couple weeks. Mary Robinette has graciously agreed to work with us again, and so we're running another campaign in September for her to record the second anthology, Lesbians in Space: The Sapphics Strike Back!

CLICK HERE to follow now to make sure you get alerted when it starts. There will likely be some special, limited quantity items! 



Our second campaign is coming right on the heels of the last one, and will cover the second half of our books for Year 5!  Here's our list:

• Dead in the Water - book 2 of Athena Giles' Children of Sea and Sky fantasy series, starting with Waves Take Your Bones!
• Tide Tale - book 3 of Kristina W. Kelly's Tales of Trelvania. Continue the wildly popular cozy fantasy series, including Tavern Tale and Tea Tale!
•  Anything But Ordinary - book 2 in Heather Tracy's These Dreams, with a new standalone story (but with some of the same characters) as her first book, Only a Chapter!
• The Venus Vendetta, by Robin C.M. Duncan. Come back to the Quirk & Moth near sci-fi detective series, including The Mandroid Murders, The Carborundum Conundrum, and The Rigel Redemption, with Book 4!
• Bond of Wildflowers by Connor Lane. Enter a cozy YA fantasy where all is not as it seems between the fae world and ours!
• The Jax and Sanders series - book 3, by A.Z. Rozkillis. What's next for the grumpy engineer and too-friendly security officer, now they've traveled parallel realities? Come back for more lesbian comedy horror!
• Battle Tested - book 2 of E.J. Isaacs' The Unforgiving Stars series. If you like Star Trek and Babylon 5, you'll love this series! Book 3 may be coming too. Stay tuned!
