I've ordered copies of Fiery Deeps, and I'll be shipping the paperback copies as soon as they come in, so keep an eye out later in the month!
I also wanted to give a quick update on the second campaign I'm running this year. It's for Lesbians in Space: Where No Man Has Gone Before, a new anthology coming from Space Wizard in June 2025. I am thrilled to say this campaign funded, and just passed our first stretch goal at $6,000 in only 4 days!
We also have four incredible authors already scheduled to contribute to the anthology. You've probably heard these names before:
- Seanan McGuire, multiple Hugo Award-winning author of the Wayward Children series, the October Daye series, and the Incryptid series!
- Travis Baldree, author of Legends and Lattes, shortlisted for the Hugo Award for best novel in 2023, as well as exceptional audiobook narrator!
- Emma Newman, Hugo Award-winning podcaster and author of the Planetfall series, which was shortlisted for the Best Series Hugo Award in 2020!
- Mary Robinette Kowal. Hugo Award-winner Mary Robinette Kowal has written: The Spare Man, The Glamourist Histories series, Ghost Talkers, the Lady Astronaut Universe, and many short stories.
This campaign also has a special perk. I'm working with a Collab Partner for Booktopia 2024, Aimee Cozza. Her project for The Warm Machine, is also funded! It's about two gay robots running off together. It's an amazing concept, and I'll certainly be getting a copy!
Anyone who backs any physical reward from both our campaigns will also get 6 out of a 56 card deck of oracle cards! This is a unique opportunity for Booktopia, and a really cool concept. The names for the 6 cards we're contributing are: Unknown, Freedom, Decommission, Love, Space, and Journey! You can see the whole set below:
This is a really great concept, and a way to find a lot a really awesome indie authors, so go check it out!
