Project Update: The Lucky Machine: Coming to The Book Bazaar in 10 days... Nov 12th, 2025
Welp.
I am so grateful that so many of you enjoyed The Warm Machine... So much so that plenty of you reached out to me todemandask nicely that I give you more Inix.
Guess what? She's here.
Coming as part of The Book Bazaar 2025, The Lucky Machine follows Inix during her time between meeting Zev and Sterling, and then coming back to them in the landfill. The story is cozier than The Warm Machine focuses on a friendship forged between a disillusioned cyborg named Sylvan and Inix, which brings Inix on her own journey of self-discovery. It also fleshes out more of life in the multi-leveled city and its surroundings, introduces new characters (and new ways to be dystopian 😭), and gives a warm hug to more of the sci-fi you (and I) know and love.
You can expect to find similar themes in this book, but since Inix is more emotionally attuned than our -- ahem -- working bots in The Warm Machine, you may find it an easier read stylistically. Additionally, the only romance in this book is love between friends (and a perhaps unhealthy adoration for a certain sewing machine) as Inix, though not yet stated outright and despite her previous life, is asexual/aromantic coded.
We'll be funding a similar length novella with the same quality of printing via paperback/hardcover, with an additional supplemental story/illustrations. As part of the campaign, I'll also be creating with you, the backers, a 90s style paper doll to really lean into Inix's newfound love for fashion. ;) She's already got one sheet of fashion, can't wait to make some more! I hope you'll sub to get notified when this project goes live!
As with any group crowdfunding project, we're also providing rewards to those who back more to get more. This year we'll be working on an anthology... Support 5+ campaigns to receive a 2025 The Book Bazaar anthology! That's not all, though. For the 3 weeks of The Book Bazaar we'll be streaming, posting on social media, providing sneak peeks, and lots more (Someone was talking about a SCAVENGER HUNT! Woo!). So make sure to follow along to catch everything!
Can't wait to see you all there. We're gonna have so much fun.
