Announced at SDCC yesterday: My first Star Wars book I’ve written for! I’m among an amazing group of authors who contributed to Star Wars: A Celebration - 50 Years in a Galaxy Far, Far Away from DK Books. Out in April 2027. Now available to preorder✨ spacewizardbooks.substack.com/p/im-writing...

New Star Wars books incoming! Full recap of the Lucasfilm Publishing panel at #SDCC is up now: spacewizardbooks.substack.com/p/all-the-ne... Biggest reveals: - Twin Crossroads by @bethrevis.bsky.social - Star Wars: A Celebration from DK Books - A New Hope: Triple Take from @madcavestudios.com

Out now! Survivors of the Stormwall, a collection of The High Republic phase 3 stories and my THR retrospective. Huge for me since it’s the third Star Wars Insider book with my words inside. A pleasure to share pages with @lydiakang.bsky.social @crashwong.bsky.social @arezouamin.bsky.social

Emerging from my hiatus to share what I found at the library: Star Wars The Essential Reader’s Companion by @infinata.bsky.social I’m sitting here having the best time taking notes and admiring the EU artwork. This is the level of Star Wars book lore mastery I aspire to.

Will no one take me seriously as a writer if I don’t post about what I'm writing? Will everyone forget I'm a Star Wars fan if I don't post about what I'm watching and reading? And more existential questions I've been asking myself lately! spacewizardbooks.substack.com/p/feeling-li...

Artemis II update: The cynicism has left my body. Watching the rocket launch and now watching a live feed of the crew flying by the moon is way cool, actually.

Going to tell my students that this is who wrote this week’s lecture on persuasive writing and rhetoric.

Today's space book research and writing led me to these photos that showcase what I love most about space race history: the juxtaposition of the celestial with the organic (rockets and stars and palm trees). 1. Saturn V w/ Apollo 8 coming out of VAB circa Dec. 1968 2. Polaris Motel on Cocoa Beach

If you need me, I’ll be analyzing every centimeter of this cover until Reign of the Empire: Edge of the Abyss arrives in September. Star Wars books are so cool.

“I asked ChatGPT” … Yeah? Well, I asked the fairies that live in the fungi-filled knot in the trunk of my neighbor’s oak tree. They’re begging you to pick up a book.

Out now: Star Wars Insider's penultimate issue with my story on @darkhorse.com Tales from the Nightlands. Honored to share space with talented writers @actuallybrandon.bsky.social, Amy Ratcliffe, Jay Stobie, @prefecttiming.bsky.social, @amyrichau.bsky.social & @philszostak.bsky.social in this issue.

Coming next week: My next (and last 😢) story for Star Wars Insider, a feature on Dark Horse’s Tales from the Nightlands. Includes interviews with Cavan Scott, Soo Lee, Robert Hack, and Vincenzo Riccardi. Oh, and THE Iain McCaig. On stands Feb. 25.

I’m going to be published in another Star Wars book! My interviews and retrospective on The High Republic will be included in Survivors of the Stormwall story collection from Star Wars Insider. I can’t wait to add this next to my work in Tales of Enlightenment and The Phantom Menace 25th special.

Happy new Star Wars book week! I had a lot of fun with Low Red Moon by Mike Chen, and I didn't even have to play Star Wars Outlaws to enjoy this story about trauma, memory, and what it means to be a team. ND-5 has done nothing wrong, ever. Full review: spacewizardbooks.substack.com/p/review-of-...

Watched The Rise of Skywalker for the hundredth time the other day just to feel something. “There are more of us, Poe.”

Some professional news: Starting next week, I will be one of the newest adjuncts at the University of Tampa. I’m excited to teach Media Writing, an intro to journalism, PR, advertising, and media literacy. And I’m still at USF! Being a public and private university professor is already fun.

Space book writing views 🚀 Should I finally make her own blanket so she stops napping on my WIPs?

Is it too late to share my 2025 wrapped? I'm doing it anyway. 103 books read, 15 Star Wars books read, 4 Star Wars Insider stories (including 2 in one issue), and a year of [redacted]. What's good, 2026? spacewizardbooks.substack.com/p/swbc-wrapp...

Pardon the dust as I rebrand, repair, and rebuild my home, my bookshelves, and my writing career. And maybe post more in 2026. spacewizardbooks.substack.com/p/pardon-the...

Incredibly sad to see that Star Wars Insider will end next year. Still, I’m so grateful to have written for Insider and to have worked with editor Christopher Cooper for the last two and a half years. It’s truly been a life-changing experience. Also, I have one more story coming in issue 236!

All the biggest Star Wars books revealed at NYCC✨ Rey and Leia book and YA romance and post-Order 66 manga and more High Republic Phase 2!

Chapter 34 is off to a great start 🎂📚

Got a bit vulnerable in my newsletter, but it feels good to share my struggles and the weird balance of personal grief and professional achievements. Yes, I tied it all back to Star Wars books and The High Republic. Shoutout to @thisdadreads.bsky.social for the beautiful poster! tinyurl.com/ysuyd8ax

Popping in to say how cool it would be if we got a “Propaganda”- or “The Rebel Files”-style book about the HoloNet News and all the amazing journalists in Star Wars. I know someone who would love to write it 🙃 (Can you tell I’m getting distracted while researching and writing?)

The world is…you know…right now, but Star Wars book mail makes things a little brighter. Our boys are back in Sanctuary: A Bad Batch Novel by Lamar Giles, out on August 5✨

Happy Beaumont Kin Day and first birthday to The Rise and Fall of the Galactic Empire by @chriskempshall.bsky.social. What a special, necessary book.

All of The High Republic is right here on my shelves. Less than a week until Trials of the Jedi and I cannot wait to scream about this book, this entire series, with everyone. Star Wars books, y’all.

Trials of the Jedi is something rare and special. It's fierce hope and light amid unwavering darkness. It's the belief in a better world, a brighter galaxy, no matter how unshakeable the darkness feels. Spoiler-free review of the last High Republic book: spacewizardbooks.substack.com/p/trials-of-...

I finished my ARC of Trials of the Jedi on Friday, and I’ve been a puddle of feelings all weekend. What a beautiful, special book that made me want to turn back to page 1 and read it all over again. More thoughts coming on June 3 and on release day, June 17. Star Wars books are magic.

Probably going to finish my ARC of Trials of the Jedi this weekend. Then what? WHAT THEN?
