In celebration of the book's 1 year anniversary I wanted to share one of Jamie Benning & I's favorite interviews we did while promoting the book last year.
Thanks as always to Richard Woloski & Sarah Woloski at Skywalking Through Neverland for having us on. A wonderful podcast about all things and more. Enjoy the interview and go grab the book!

Almost 1 year ago Jamie Benning and I finished the Unauthorized Timeline book. We had planned to release it on the anniversary of Jedi, but due to "technical difficulties" we had to push it back, and so it was released on June 1st, 2023.
Here we are almost 1 year later and our labor of love is coming out as an eBook. You can pre-order it now via Amazon. You can also still buy the physical book as well.
Whichever you fancy, head over to the link & ponder your choice. May the Force be with you.

!
As promised here is the new cover for Photography Volume 1 Deluxe Edition.

The Kickstarter launches February 2nd - so we are just about 1 month away.
There will only be 500 copies available, so make sure you contribute to the campaign and reserve your copy.

The basic book tier will be $199 + shipping. That will be the lowest amount to get a book. As usual we'll have higher tier amounts with more bonuses including signed & numbered prints, autographed copies of the book, book bundles, and more!

This will be the final book in the series and is a must-have for all of you collectors and completists.
We'll be announcing the Stretch Goals and rewards in the coming weeks as we lead up to the campaign - which will run for 60 days after launch giving everyone ample time to contribute.
Tell all of your Star Wars friends about this one. I have a feeling it might just sell out.

1 year ago today I released my book,The Empire Strikes Back Unauthorized Timeline Book. It was really my first book that I had published and it was a big accomplishment.

I couldn't have done it without help from my friend, Dan Johnson, who co-edited the book with me and conducted many hours of proofreading and layout meetings. The book has gone on to sell quite a few copies and is currently available on Amazon. I later released the Collector's Edition of the book which was in full-color and included additional information. It is currently available at my website www.tesbtimeline.com.

While the Collector's Edition will not be available after January 1st, 2021, the standard edition will be available on Amazon indefinitely. You can pick up one or both books at my website or get the 1st edition at Amazon here: https://www.amazon.com/Empire-Strikes-Back.../dp/1095497197

Books purchased through my website will be signed while the ones through Amazon are not. Thanks to everyone who has purchased the books and enjoyed them. It was a labor of love for sure and stands as one of my life's greatest achievements.

May the Force be with you!
