Latest Updates from Our Project:

85% funded, plus achievements!

Hi Folks!

I was at ConCarolinas all weekend, which is one of my favorite conventions of the year. It's a 3-day literary event in Charlotte, NC, and I love getting to talk to readers, old and new friends, and fellow writers. I usually come home with some goodies and maybe even new projects! (I might have picked up three new Space Wizard side projects this year...but that's still under wraps. Details later!)

This time we got some cool swag, Thanks to Dino, the "Book Santa" and some unnamed passersby in the night:



But while I was there, we blazed through another $1000 in funding! We're less than $800 from funding right now! And hey, if someone wanted a copy of All Space Wizard eBooks, for example, or a Copy or Developmental Edit , That would take us most of the way there!

We've also got cheevos! There are now two achievements for The Summer Bonanza as a whole. Help us hit them!

The first is to reach $23,000. This is the amount it takes to fully fund all 11 projects. We're most of the way there already, at almost $19,500! When we reach this achievement, anyone who backed 5 projects or more will not only get a sticker sheet with all the book covers, we'll also add more fun stickers to it, like top hats, monocles, and whatever else we dream up.

The second achievement is to double everything at $45,000! When we hit this one, the creators are going to do an "exquisite corpse" story for you. That means one of us will write the first part, pass it to the next creator, they write something and pass it on, and so on. We have no idea what the final will be, but it will be fun, and chaos incarnate! 

If we hit both of these...there will be more! Let your friends, family, and enemies know about the campaigns!

Space Wizard Year 5 is over 65% funded in less than 24 hours!
about 1 month ago – Fri, May 29, 2026 at 06:08:26 AM

Hi Folks!

Wow! We're on our way to one of the best starts for a Space Wizard campaign! The Space Wizard campaign is already over 65% funded, The Book Bazaar Summer Bonanza has 4 out of 11 projects already funded, and the collection has passed $14,000 already! You all are amazing!

So since we're looking pretty good on funding so far, I wanted to tease a little with our first two stretch goals to watch out for. Both are new Omnibuses (always popular in our campaigns), and these stretch goals will help us pay for some amazing cover art!

At $6,500 We will pay for a new cover for the Quirk&Moth collection of three books and 3 short stories and all backers get an eBook copy. Over 1000 pages!

At $7,500 We will pay for a new cover for the Space Wizard novella collection of five novellas and all backers get an eBook copy! Over 650 pages!

The Quirk & Moth omnibus will be created by MoorBooks, the same ones who did the great covers for the series, and the Space Wizard novellas will have a cover from the incredible Spoon of Spoonwood studios. If you need any proof of their ability, look no farther than the Lucianus cover!



Spoon and I have some fun ideas for the Novella Omnibus cover already, and I'll looking forward to sharing them with you!

If you're in Charlotte for ConCarolinas this weekend, come say hi! Heather and I will be on 8 panels total, and if we're not in one of them, we'll be behind the table in Author's Alley!

Friday:
- Yes, Your Fantasy Needs Science, 4:00 PM - 5:00 PM

Saturday:
- What Makes a Good Alien in a Science Fiction Story? 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM
- Let's Get Down to Business...to Defeat the High Cholesterol, 3:30 PM - 4:30 PM
- Publisher Spotlight, 5:00 PM - 6:00 PM
- Geeky Travel Guide (Heather Tracy), 8:00 PM - 9:00 PM

Sunday:

- Steeped in Fandom, 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM
- From Idea to Finished Thing, 2:00 PM - 3:00 PM

That's all for now, I'll be back (probably soon) when we hit the next goal!

Author Interview with William C. Tracy

Hello folks! Here is the sixth video for our Space Wizard Year 5, Part 1 Launch Party! We start on May 28 for the Book Bazaar Summer Edition, with eleven publishing projects. We'll have one more interview for you before we start!

This one is with me, William C. Tracy, talking about Pressure Magic! We evidently went back to the 1990's to record, so sorry about the video and audio quality. But we couldn't re-record because of Verne's cameo...watch and you'll see why!

Hello folks! Here is the fifth video for our Space Wizard Year 5, Part 1 Launch Party! Stay tuned all through May for more videos and the May 28 start (That's ONE WEEK and a day from now!) of the Book Bazaar Summer Edition, with ten publishing projects. We'll have at least one interview (or maybe more) for you each week until the start of the campaign.

I talked with C.J. Beshara about their debut book, Lucianus, about a wizard brought back to life for a mysterious purpose. There are definitely possibilities for future books, but you'll have to read this one first!
