Buzzard: Inez Ray's dystopian debut reaches its launch week

Bindery Books' September 22 debut follows a midwife imprisoned in a corporate controlled Arizona of 2086.

Buzzard , Inez Ray's debut dystopian novel, has a 22 September 2026 US paperback publication date. The exact Bookshop.org listing identifies Bindery Books as publisher and ISBN 9781967967261 . Stock, shipping and other editions depend on the retailer and territory; older preorder labels on some listings should not be

taken as a live inventory report. The story is set in a corporate controlled Arizona of 2086. Midwife Mae Bastet has been separated from her sons and imprisoned after providing reproductive health care. While working among teenage drone pilots, she encounters unexplained pregnancies that could expose secrets inside the

prison's operator. The novel's central choice is whether Mae protects herself or acts on the principles that led to her arrest. Ray's release is part of Bindery's Left Unread Books community publishing effort. The creator operated launch campaign offers context on how readers have supported the book; check the exact
