Or so the story, which had been passed down through many generations, is told. He was the storyteller now, and the last of his line, fated by the witch's curse never to produce an heir.

Produktbeschreibung
O.Z. Diggs the seventh, descendant of Oz the Great and Terrible Wizard, like all male heirs in his family, was cursed by the wicked witch of the West. Or so the story, which had been passed down through many generations, is told. He was the storyteller now, and the last of his line, fated by the witch's curse never to produce an heir. But he does think he has found a way out. In order to break the curse and thus allow himself and his family to return to Oz, he must be recognised as a descendant of his distant relative. Things seem to be set in motion. He has come across one of the magical staffs owned by Oz, and through it he received a message about a band of good wizards and witches that were also cast out from Oz. They call themselves the Society of the Walking Cane, and he is certain they can help him. But as is always the case, there are those of good, and those of evil, and those of evil will stop at nothing to ensure the witch's curse remains in place. Can he break the curse, or is he fated to be the end of his line? Find out in Ron Baxley, Jr.'s O.Z. Diggs Himself Out. O.Z. Diggs Himself Out is a spin-off of the popular Wizard of Oz, focusing around the distant descendants of the original Wizard, and a curse bestowed upon his line. Ron Baxley, Jr. writes in an imaginative first person perspective style which, alongside a serious plot, has elements of humour, and also darker humour to it. As stated in the book, the lines between the real adventure and that immortalised through the story have been altered. This allows the author to take something familiar and turn it to their own devices. There is a lot to like about this story, such as adventure and world building. It definitely fits quite nicely into the fantasy genre, and will appeal to that audience. Imaginative, fun, and enjoyable, O.Z. Diggs Himself Out makes for an entertaining read, whether you're a fan of the Wizard of Oz or not. K. J. Simmill, Readers Favorite LLC

Autorenporträt
Ron Baxley, Jr.'s Southern background figures in his work, as does his love of Oz and his faith. He received a lifetime membership from the International L. Frank Baum and All Things Oz Foundation in 2016 in Chittenango, New York for his work as an author related to the Wizard of Oz, work which dates back to 1999 when the First Edition of his book "The Talking City of Oz" was published. Ron has been a special guest, guest, and visiting author at Oz festivals and cons since 2010. Ron also likes most anything related to Disney, fantasy, and science fiction which he has also published. He, in addition, helped his late father with a side satellite dish business when he was a youth and was encouraged by his father, a techie, to get interested in computers; he equates all of this with furthering his interest in science fiction. He lived in Columbia, S.C. for most of his life outside of university but also lived for a few years in Groton and Charlton, Massachusetts while working for an outdoor education program and for a few in Charleston, S.C. and Prosperity, S.C. After working on his certification and being an educator for 15 years in various capacities away from his home-town, Ron returned there in 2015 to become a care-giver and to work as a part-time correspondent for the Orangeburg, S.C. Times and Democrat, returning to an earlier career which he had for two years as a reporter at The Aiken Standard upon graduation from USC-Aiken in 1998. Eventually Ron began selling different types of Disney vacations through a travel agency on the side. In 2016, he and Vincent Myrand, the artist for this graphic novel, had a tour for a preview version of this graphic novel in Massachusetts and New York, and later in Michigan at two Oz festivals and other locations. "Ziggy Zig-Zags the Light and Dark Fantastic" by Ron Baxley, Jr., a published author for 27 years, is the second book published by YBR Publishing. His 2018 novel "O.Z. Diggs Himself Out", which combines Southern literature with Oz fantasy, was his first through YBR. He considers his rescued Corgi, Ziggy, to be his child and even a fur-angel, and the dog figures largely in a lot of his work, being a minor character in "O.Z. Diggs Himself Out" and the title character in this graphic novel.
