Project Update: Nearly-there Bazaar Books and FAMILIAR FIGHT NIGHT!!!
Hi all,
With just over a week left in the Bazaar, I wanted to shout out the campaigns who are steadily approaching their funding goals. Everyone who funds will be contributing to the anthology that people who back five or more projects receive for free, so the more of us hit our goals, the more content the anthology will include. In the Bazaar, we have...
With just over a week left in the Bazaar, I wanted to shout out the campaigns who are steadily approaching their funding goals. Everyone who funds will be contributing to the anthology that people who back five or more projects receive for free, so the more of us hit our goals, the more content the anthology will include. In the Bazaar, we have...
SEVEN NEW SFF BOOKS FROM AND ABOUT QUEER PEOPLE!
(Not to be confused with Seven the Publishing Goblin, who's currently funding Tales From the Alley.)
Space Wizard is 90% of the way to their goal. It's incredibly hard for independent presses to operate sustainably. If you want to support a small business that champions marginalized authors, here's a great chance. Plus, books from their existing catalog of over 40 titles are available through add-ons!

POETRY!
Get fooled by fae, or explore the dark outcome of human greed. Or both! Why not both? Fairy Seasons is also 90% of the way to its goal. GULA has further to go, but part of its goal includes 20% of every pledge being donated to UNRWA, which provides support to Palestinian refugees.
COMICS!
You know that dreadful feeling when you finish a book and realize you need more, now? Finding a series with multiple books out already can help with that 😉
AUDIOBOOKS!
Prefer oral storytelling over reading? Need a book to entertain you while driving (without taking your eyes off the road?) The Book Bazaar includes multiple audiobooks. Both projects include their authors' previous work as add-ons, so you can catch up on the historical fiction urban fantasy Covenant of Blood before Blood Ties comes out, or check out Amara Lynn's collections of SFF writing.
And now, for the all-caps part of this update:
FAMILIAR FIGHT NIGHT
Y'all already know what familiars the main characters of Honeycomb Heart have. Here's a chance for you to do a little writing and tell me: what familiar would you have if you were a resident of Hex, and why is your answer the best?
Familiars are smarter and have more personality than regular members of their species; their natural lifespans are extended to that of a human's, and they tend to be a bit hardier too. So if you've always wanted to have a butterfly friend that follows you around and perches on your hair like a big beautiful hair clip, you don't have to worry about them only living like a couple weeks 😅
Growing up, red pandas were always my favorite animal at the zoo. My brain insists they're just like... funny cat/fox hybrids even though I know they're completely non-domesticated and probably want nothing to do with humans. There isn't (currently) a red panda familiar in Honeycomb Heart, but if I got to pick one for myself in real life, it would definitely be that or an otter. Otters sound more fun to play with, but the thought of having a smart and friendly red panda friend I could make little sunhats and booties for is certainly tempting.
Happy upcoming Turkey Day (or Ham Day, for those with good taste),
Madeleine
P.S. The transition into winter is hitting me a little rough this year. My sleep schedule has been, shall we say, unsustainable (but I am otherwise fine!) My apologies for being quiet for a bit. I'll be working on and posting colors, layouts, and WIPs for some of the mini prints later this week.
