Spotlight on: Author Jen Guberman & The Neon Palm
In today's spotlight, we welcome back Author Jen Guberman & The Neon Palm to The Geekery Market! Jen Guberman isn’t a New York Times bestselling author, and she has no critical acclaim, but her mom thinks her books are pretty good. She graduated from Gardner-Webb University with her bachelor’s in communications & new media. She spends her free time playing video games, creating jewelry, and watering her excessive house plant collection. Jen lives with her husband and their cat, Camden, in Charlotte, North Carolina.
What Else You Should Know About Them:
Describe all the geeky goodness you'll be bringing to the next Geekery Market! What kind of items will you be selling?
Books, pet dragons, holographic dragon eyes, nerdy jewelry, and more! I'll have a little something for everyone. My Books: You can dive into a dystopian future where criminals are sorted into towns, a cyberpunk city where you can customize hallucinogenics, or a fantasy kingdom with a magical school and dragon-like creatures. Pet Dragons: I hand-make clay dragons (about the size of my palm) and each one is entirely unique. They also are all named and come with their own little birth certificates! I've previously made a bookish dragon, Halloween dragon, and a sword-wielding dragon, just to name a few. Because they tend to have fragile pieces on them, it's something you can only get at my events because I don't ship them as of right now, so you don't want to miss out! Holographic Dragon Eyes: Using clay and glass, I create dragon eyes with a holographic effect. The scales around the eyeballs come in a variety of colors, and I offer them as keychains, necklaces, and palm stones. I'm also considering offering them as magnets this year! Nerdy Jewelry: I have a wide array of jewelry (especially earrings)! I have mermaid scale earrings, Beetlejuice earrings, horror movie earrings, food earrings (like ramen and charcuterie boards), cat earrings, etc.
