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.

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.

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!

A Wake - October 2025 BOO! Happy Halloween! This month was a game of two halves, but I can’t believe we’re into the last sixth of the year. Time is fleeting so let’s dive in!...

Such a pleasure to read!

"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

Today’s lovely words about my novelette come from @harveyhamer.bsky.social. Thanks so much, Harvey! 🥹

On Tour - September 2025 Well, dear reader, this email’s coming a day late due to a minor issue with buttondown. But all sorted. Everything that follows was written yesterday! I’m...

September has been a month of adventure! Half the month was spent in Rome, but in my newsletter I chronicle exhibitions and film clubs, listening parties and video game updates, plus my stack of birthday books.

Rise & Fall - August 2025 The WIP Comics anthology hit its funding goal! As of writing this, we surpassed it by £300 with over 140 backers! Thank you so much anyone who checked out...

From illustrating my first comic story and releasing the trailer for the video game I'm writing to script supervising a pilot episode and digging an archaeological trench in Wales, it's been a month!

Thanks so much for the support Matt!

Develop - July 2025 Well the year is simultaneously whizzing by and dragging on as July comes to a close. This was a busy month, full of developments! I developed projects, and...

July was a month of major developments, a comics Kickstarter, Star Wars cover reveals, writing my own short film, a gaming industry conference, my volunteer work with English Heritage and so many musical and historical treats! buttondown.com/HarveyHamer/...

Please consider checking out this amazing anthology! I joined WIP Comics earlier this year and they've been an amazingly supportive group - I'm so happy to be a small part of this incredible project.

I'm so excited to finish illustrating and to share this! Please sign up to be notified when the anthology Kickstarter launches!

Reconstruction - June 2025 This month was a balancing act of many events and projects, so that title seems appropriate. Now it’s winding up (or pretty much over as you read this), I’m...

June was full of adventures and projects, from Bath and the Arthur C. Clarke Award to illustrating my own comic!

∞ - May 2025 It was a busy month, but with less to report. That title May (ha!) be confusing… but I’ve been linking this year’s titles to events or projects from that...

May was a quieter month writing-wise, but full of incredible concert and convention experiences and an inspiring week in Seville. Still, I handed in my third article for Star Wars Insider, and shared the Kickstarter for a comic anthology I'm a part of!

Coming soon: ∞: The new WIP Comics Anthology ∞ (infinity/loop/ouroboros) is the new group anthology from WIP Comics, a UK-based community of independent comic creators.
