My book, The Hidden Thaumaturge, is about overcoming galactic oppression that’s been ongoing for 3,000 years! Sometimes, overcoming authoritarianism takes a long time, but don’t give up hope!

Got distracted to note this, but my first published Star Wars writing came out 30 years ago last month. This was my first rodeo.

Join James Luceno, Jason Fry, Michael Kogge, and Enrique Guerrero as they honor Daley's memory and discuss his legendary stories.

Now over 20 years since the release of the megaseries epic The New Jedi Order, the saga of the invasion of the Yuuzhan Vong into the galaxy of our heroes still captivates readers to this day. Join luminaries James Luceno (Agents of Chaos, The Unifying Force), Michael Stackpole (Dark Tide), Matthew Stover (Traitor), and Enrique Guerrero for an in-depth discussion of this lasting epic.

Test your nerd cred on everything from Killiks to Imperial Knights in this trivia contest! Everyone is welcome, either as a participant or spectator!

Grab your dice and come join Michael Kogge (West End Games, Fantasy Flight, Wizards of the Coast), Jason Fry (Wizards of the Coast), Abel Peña (Wizards of the Coast), and Christian Gossett (West End Games) as they talk all things Star Wars gaming!

Erik Sternberger @eriksternberger.bsky.social · Aug 28

I really enjoyed this one as it felt like an arc of the show and was very action-oriented, which was a nice change of pace after the more character-driven Acolyte tie-ins.

That's what I love about the Star Wars books, that we have that variety!
