🌟 Coming Soon: Project Neon
A Southern TV series like nothing you've ever seen — but precisely what you've always wanted.
What if the hottest new business in town wasn't just about money... but about meaning? What happens when progressives and conservatives sit across from each other, not with fists raised — but words sharpened? In a setting where no side owns the mic, the real fireworks come from bold conversations, unexpected truths, and a whole lot of Southern flair.
🔥 Part satire, part drama, part culture clash — all original.
Project Neon is the next great show that will have everyone asking,
“Did you see what happened last night?”
📺 Stay tuned.
The South just lit up... and it’s called Project Neon.

✨ Appearance & Reading (Followed by Q&A in the Realm of Oz!)
Step right up, dear Ozians and seekers of stories! Join author and royal scribe Ron Baxley Jr. for a spirited reading from one of his fantastical, satirical Southern Oz tales — be it from the dusty scrolls of O.Z. Doesn’t Diggs G.C.C. or the irreverent Fifth Estate. With the swish of a quill and a tip of his Ozian cap, Ron will regale your gathering with a tale or two, followed by a curious and candid Q&A session where no question (Oz-related or otherwise) is too twisted down the Yellow Brick Road.
Perfect for schools, libraries, conventions, or any enchanted venue looking to add a touch of L. Frank meets Southern Sass.
🪄 Booking includes one live reading (in-person or virtual), an audience Q&A, and a guaranteed “Oz-some” time!
