I've got the very last reward for this campaign ready to go. Spoon has finished the new Dissolution Cycle omnibus cover, taking elements from the rest of the trilogy covers. The inside is updated with the new covers, in color, as well! This is a chonker, coming in at 1100 pages and makes a great collector's edition!
Isn't it pretty!
Didn't get yours in the November 2025 campaign? Well you're in luck! We have the Space Wizard Year 5 campaign going on right now, where you can pick up a copy, and we're only about $160 from funding! Plus, look at the amazing covers of the next 8 books coming from Space Wizard!
We've also got a couple other special omnibuses in the new campaign. Paying for the covers for these two are our first two stretch goals!
The Quirk & Moth omnibus combines all three current books in the series (The Mandroid Murders, The Carborundum Conundrum, and The Rigel Redemption), as well as the short stories The Bibliothek Betrayal and never-before-published The Hygeia Hijack!
Our new Space Wizard Novellas Volume 1 collects all the novellas published by Space Wizard from 2022 to 2025. Explore a wide range of queer science fiction and fantasy stories, in shorter format! Includes Awry With Dandelions by J.S. Fields, Peace In The Sky by Caye Marsh, Ajakava by Chaitanya Murali, The Witch and the Ostrich by Jordan A. Werner, Isaac by Allee Mead, It's You, Isn't it? by Antony Paschos, and Junk Junction by Sara Codair.
As one year of Space Wizard rolls by, another starts! Go check out the great books we have in store for you this time!
We're getting very near to the end of shipping for this campaign (and remember to sign up for Year 5 if you haven't yet!), so I have a last few updates for you!
The first is, I just received the final cover for The Dissolution Cycle, Fall of the Imperium, from Spoonwood studios, and I couldn't be happier! Look at this:
I'm getting it uploaded everywhere, which means I'll be able to order some paperbacks soon as well as send out the eBooks to everyone with the new covers!
Plus, I can show you the special easter egg we've been putting together with all three covers. They make a triptych!
Now, would any of you be interested in having this available as a print in the next campaign? Let me know in the poll!
Second, I've also just received the paperback copies of Talio Rossa and the Elixir of Life, which means I'll be shipping the last shipments from the campaign out, including all the full subscriptions.
Once that's done, this campaign will be complete, just in time for the next one to start!
I've got several updates for you today. First, I've got the full cover for Facets of the Nether! This is the second book in The Dissolution Trilogy, and once again, Spoon has done amazing work on it. There's one final small change to the cover, and then I'll be uploading them to all the sites, as well as sending out your free eBooks. We've got one more to go and the trilogy will be complete! Let me know what you think of it!
Second, I've sent out paperback copies of Fractal Terminus last week, so those backers hopefully have gotten them by now. I'll be sending out paperback copies of Mothball Magic very soon, as I've already got the books. Hopefully this week or maybe early next week. I'll also be sending out the eBooks most likely tomorrow, so keep an eye on your email!
Third, we've only got one book left to ship out: Talio Rossa and the Elixir of Life. This one will be coming to you hopefully in late May, and will finish off the Year 4 part 2 campaign!
In the meantime, we have eight more incredible queer books ready for you in the Space Wizard Year 5 campaign! Here's the quick summaries to whet your appetite. If you're interested, make sure to sign up! I'm still waiting on most of the covers, but they'll start showing up very soon, and we'll have author interviews posted to the launch party starting next week!
Lucianus, by C.J. Beshara- An ancient wizard, reincarnated into a new body, learns how the world has changed since his catastrophic death, and why his new traveling companion is interested in him!
Aliens in New Florida, by Carmen Loup, author of the Audacity Omnibus (and in the same universe) - A road trip across post-apocalyptic Florida with prophesy, an attractive reptilian alien, psychedelics, omniscient aliens (and humans), and a quest for the fabled Kingdom!
Gunmaker, by Chris Gerrib, in the same universe as his previous Space Wizard book One of Our Spaceships is Missing - A murder by gunshot on the indentured mining colony of Eros, a place where guns are not allowed, sparks an investigation into the corruption of the colony owners!
Romance and the Gentle Art of Rocket Racing, by Rena Rocford, author of the recently released Mothball Magic - A rocket-racing rogue must help her secret half-brother, the king of his colony, to woo the woman of his dreams, through silk, intrigue, and fast ships!
Pressure Magic - book 3 of William C. Tracy's Shifting Lands fantasy series. Silluka has survived the invasion of Chimor, but she, her brother Ichu, her girlfriend Cosquella, and Lugopo, the eldritch octopus, find themselves stuck on a strange island with a master craftsman!
Promise of Manifest, by Alex Kingsley - Find out what happens in the conclusion of The Bastion Cycle, in a world of post apocalyptic giant crabs and human scavengers! This is the third book, following Empress of Dust (the 2025 Small Spec Book award winner for Science Fiction)and Relic of Haven!
Queen and Obsidian, by J.S. Fields, a duology of science fiction space opera stories. It begins with Queen, where an intersex woman is trapped on a barely hospitable planet of women, only to learn their meager living area is further threatened. This is followed up by Obsidian, which follows the events of the first book!
Just a quick, update to say I pushed the button to send out the new eBook version of The Seeds of Dissolution just now. This version is a thanks to all the backers in this campaign for helping us reach the goal to fund new covers for the trilogy! The eBook version has been reformatted, a few more pictures colorized, and of course, the new cover. So even if you have a copy already, check this one out! I hope to have a preview of the new cover for Facets of the Nether very soon!
The new cover for The Seeds of Dissolution, featuring Sam, with swirling lines of magic around him. Rilan and Origon watch on from in front and back
And if you haven't yet, make sure to check out our new campaign to bringLesbians in Space: Where No Man Has Gone Before to audiobook! Mary Robinette Kowal is narrating, so this is bound to be a stupendous recording. This is also a kind of test-run for Space Wizard to see if it's viable to fund our own audio recordings. We're closing on halfway funded already, so if that's something you think is worthwhile, please take a look at the campaign!
I'll be back next with another book cover or book release!
I've got copies of The Healer's Magic in, just in time for the release on March 10th. I'll be sending those out to backers soon. Meanwhile, here's all three lovely covers together for your enjoyment!
Speaking of covers, I wanted to share the new, finalized cover for The Seeds of Dissolution I just got today from Spoon of Spoonwood Visuals. Isn't it amazing!
I'll be putting the new cover online and switching out the print and eBook covers in the next couple days. Meanwhile, Spoon is already starting on book 2, Facets of the Nether. Remember, everyone who backed will get a free eBook copy of the whole trilogy! I'll be sending out the copies of The Seeds of Dissolution to all backers very soon, and thanks again for getting us to that stretch goal!
I'll be at Ret-Con this weekend, so come say hi if you're there. I'll have a prop cover of The Seeds of Dissolution out for you to enjoy!
I hope to have some news on the second book in my next update!
