This is fun, self-published Oz fan-fiction by awarded Oz author Ron
Baxley, Jr. who wrote this fan-fic as after-thoughts or
"After-Th'Oz" to his more established Oz and Oz/Wonderland works
from Maple Creek Press. It includes a brand new Oz/Wonderland
novella based on Ron's and James C. Wallace II's Of
Cabbages/Oz/Wonderland series, three brand new short stories that
take place after Ron's _The Oz Omnibus of Talking City Tales_
(Maple Creek Press 2014), one bonus of a non-fiction article on
some Munchkin actors from Ron's home-town, and a super hero story
based on them. It includes public domain images from classic
Wonderland and Oz illustrators. Ron decided he should no longer
have Oz as solely an after-thought. Perhaps his readership should
too.
Dorothy Gale wishes that the Emerald City could talk, the Wizard of
Oz, O.Z. Diggs, gains a love interest through magic means, Ozma
gets kidnapped by some villains, Wogglebug, the highly magnified
professor insect, and some flies protest against Dorothy, and a
jewel-encrusted rocky creature created by Ruggedo, the former Nome
King, unfortunately makes Dorothy's wish come true in an unexpected
way ...in this modern Oz novel about the regret of wishes and
adventuring. This book reunites Ozian favorites and brings many new
characters and lands into L. Frank Baum's universe.
""Cycling the Moon"" is a full color illustrated satirical/funny
science fiction book that has cross-over appeal to young adults and
adults. It combines the humor of Douglas Adams with the allegorical
facets of a C.S. Lewis book. The short novel makes fun of
bureaucracy and our materialistic culture through a bunch of
aliens. Within his small Southern town, a misfit, creative youth,
Marty, whose father always wanted him to be more technical and
whose mother always liked his creativity, finds a watch with a
character in it that was thrown down to Earth by the Minister of
Poetic Justice. The Minister of Poetic Justice, an executioner-like
alien from a distant moon with an eye for an eye and a tooth for a
tooth-style leathery helmet, has shrunk down a time traveler,
Tempus Fugit, and has put him in the watch as punishment for his
trying to turn his entire moon into a time travel device. After
Marty finds this watch, various adventures and misadventures ensue.
