Some books are just meant to be, ya know? Had to be me, someone else might have gotten it wrong. ✨

Cover reveal for STAR WARS LEGACY with Leia, Rey and Kylo Ren

•
Set between Episodes VIlI and IX, Rey and Leia embark on a quest to repair Rey's lightsaber and rekindle the legacy of the Jedi.
After barely escaping the First Order on Crait, Rey and the Resistance are struggling to rebuild. Her friends need the last Jedi more than ever, but Rey feels alone and overwhelmed: Jedi tradition is built on masters and apprentices, and Rey's teacher is gone. Leia Organa tries her best to train Rey in the ways of the Force as Luke did for her so many years ago, but Leia's knowledge is limited, Rey's lightsaber is broken, and the specter of Kylo Ren and regrets from the past haunt them both. How can Leia pass the torch, when she herself is unsure of the way?
But then, the ancient Jedi texts offer a glimmer of hope: a long-forgotten Jedi temple on Tython that might hold the key to repairing Rey's saber. Rey leaps at the chance to journey there - and to her surprise, so does Leia.
Rey and Leia's nascent mentorship is put to the test when they discover the temple on Tython is filled with obscure clues to decipher and arcane trials to complete.As they work to unravel the temple's mysteries, they encounter a group of refugees living in its shadow, hiding from a First Order officer hot on the trail of two freedom fighters in their midst: With the threat of the First Order looming and the secrets of the temple yet to be unlocked, the newly forged master and apprentice must confront their pasts, reach each other in the present, and decide what it means to carry the legacy of the Jedi into the future.

Congratulations @kristinbaver.bsky.social on your upcoming Insider fiction!!

Megan Crouse @fullofwords.bsky.social · 19h

Eyes Like Stars, a YA romance novel, will be the first in a series of Star Wars “genre” novels including maybe an upcoming “war” entry. Star Wars has done this before with romance and horror but not under a specific “genre” banner

Revenge of the Sith came out in May of course but the tragedy has an October energy that suits the wind blowing the dead leaves off the trees

Mushed together some inspiration of fossil evidence of predator skeletons with visible tail spike damage from stegosaurus and modern wildlife photography of deer going about with the stuck heads of rivals on their antlers-macabre but fits the month! #paleoart #paleosky #stegosaurus

Stegosaurus ungulatus with the stuck skull of a ceratosaurus on its tail spikes. Small anurognathid pterosaurs fly about the ceratosaur skull, roosting inside and feeding on the insects attracted by the decomposing head.

Dear writers:

Write that story. Edit mercilessly. Send that email. Ignore the haters. Stay humble, but be confident. Get paid. Read a lot. Write despite your insecurities. Support others. Accept helpful criticism. Celebrate everything. Don't panic. Never quit. You got this.
