Long-time Lucasfilm executive editor/author of nonfiction/fiction books for adults and children, many genres and media. I love good stories.
Nonfiction/fiction editor of books on Lucasfilm, Industrial Light & Magic, Lucasfilm Animation,
and LucasArts ( The Cinema of George Lucas, Rogue Leaders: The Story of LucasArts, ILM: The Art of Innovation, and many others). Worked closely with George Lucas on his chosen books, from Star Wars Frames to Star Wars Art: Visions. Worked closely with a number of publishers on a variety of publications and formats: Del Rey, Scholastic, Chronicle Books, becker&mayer!, Dark Horse Comics, Abrams Books, Dorling Kindersley, Titan Books, et al. Edited and created stories for dozens of middle-grade and YA Star Wars fictional books. Was key in creating the LEGO-Star Wars merger in books and a line of high-end deluxe limited editions. Worked closely with in-house and freelance designers.
In the last four years I wrote:
All Up (historical fiction novel on the first Space Age, Permuted Press, 2020)
The Making of Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining (spring 2021)
The Making of Alien (Titan Books, 2019), winner Best Foreign/Translated Work on Cinema, Syndicat Français de la Critique de Cinéma, France
Rick Baker: Metamorphosis (Cameron/Abrams Books, 2019), “New and Noteworthy,” NY Times
