Very sad to see this come to pass. Writing for ‘Star Wars Insider’ was always an absolute pleasure and allowed me to share a publication with many wonderful authors.

Chris Cooper did a fantastic job editing Insider.

I loved Star Wars Insider for many years before I had the chance the write articles for it. And they are some of my favorites! Interviewing women who have voiced Leia over the years, fanzine creators, deep diving the Jedi Council. Sad news.

Fab quote for THE VALE OF SEVEN DRAGONS! My epic #fantasy debut takes flight April 6, 2026 via Sley House Publishing. Thank you, Harvey Hamer, for the kind words!
#books #fantasybooks #epicfantasy #adventure #yabooks #2026books
Mirror image dragon flame design by Chris Panatier. Review quote: "The Vale of Seven Dragons puts the epic in epic fantasy. With a vivid world that continues to grow with each chapter and a fantastic cast of characters, this propulsive coming of age story blends genres and familiar tropes with ease. From fae groves to cosmic horror and a mind-blowing climax, I'm raring to read more in this expansive universe Jendia Gammon has created!" - Harvey Hamer, Diamond Dimensions Universe author and Star Wars Insider contributor THE VALE OF SEVEN DRAGONS BY JENDIA GAMMON APRIL 7, 2026 VIA SLEY HOUSE PUBLISHING The cover of Jendia Gammon's THE VALE OF SEVEN DRAGONS, art by Chris Panatier. A red and gold border design of dragons facing each other. Three humans stand between the border: on the left, a young Black man, Prince Beaumain, with turquoise eyes and reddish hair bound by a silver crown, wearing grey, blue, and silver house colors and silver dragon brooch for his country, Catellaith; he holds a silver dagger. In the center, a white young woman, Princess Githilien, aka Thilly, of Vickery, wearing a turquoise and copper dress and spiky golden crown, holding a silver and red sword upside down; she has long, curly auburn hair, hazel eyes, and smirks. On the right, a tanned white man with grey eyes, short beard, and longish, lank, golden brown hair, wearing a ranger’s clothes and holding a sword. Behind the three figures, the sky is blue with rosy clouds; along the bottom of the image is a dark, fog-like mass creeping between them.

Today’s lovely words about my novelette come from @harveyhamer.bsky.social. Thanks so much, Harvey! 🥹
"Shoeshine Boy & Cigarette Girl is a charming tale of love and dreams, and how they fare against the dangers of the world. A retrofuture fable that endears and inspires in equal measure, highlighted by its detailed prose and heartfelt characters. A perfect love letter of a story for Valentines Day!" - Harvey Hamer, Diamond Dimensions Universe author and Star Wars Insider contributor

My review! Go read ATACAMA!
jendiagammon.bsky.social Jendia Gammon @jendiagammon.bsky.social · 29d
Incredible review calling ATACAMA “unputdownable” and “a perfect blend of science, sci-fi, and horror.” Go get this book! It gave me nightmares to write it. Out now via @sleyhouseeditor.bsky.social.
Also, YES, I would love to see a film or TV adaptation.
#thriller #horror #scifi #books
Five star review for ATACAMA by Jendia Gammon, featuring the book cover and a DNA strand illustration behind it. Atacama will be the example I hold up for 'unputdownable'. From start to finish, I was hooked. Gammon crafted a perfect blend of science, sci-fi and horror, a thriller with fantastic characters, and great explorations of both grief and setting, from East Tennessee to the Atacama - places I've never visited but now feel I have! If there was a film adaptation (yes please!) I'd be on the edge of my seat for the whole twisty plot. There's X-Files vibes, but this is a totally original page-turning mystery, and I want to believe there'll be a continuation where we learn more about the CUPRUM corporation.
