Afoot and lighthearted, I take to the open road...
Henceforth, I ask not good fortune,
I myself am good fortune.

My Jedi Memoir: A Double Life by James Kahn

Home My Jedi Memoir by James Kahn

 

 

Hey, all,  my latest book has just been published…

 

 

My Jedi Memoir: A Double Life

 

 

It’s a recounting of my 20 years writing novelizations, writing TV series like Star Trek and Melrose Place, and working in emergency rooms. The novelization section is focused most intensely on Return of the Jedi, including my thought processes while writing it, insights into key elements, a scene by scene analysis of the entire novel, with a few surprises, and photocopies of some of my original manuscript pages. I also go into a number of ER stories, how I brought them into my writing, and how my two worlds, Hollywood and hospitals, bounced off each other, and off my family life.

 

 

Available on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and the publisher, BearManorMedia. Please send this around to anyone you think might be interested in weird, funny, or poignant stories about Hollywood, Star Wars, Poltergeist, The Goonies, emergency rooms, families, or identity crises. And thanks!
