Another Sovereign Era Novel from Matthew Wayne Selznick?

by Larry on 08 May 2012

sovereign survey Another Sovereign Era Novel from Matthew Wayne Selznick?Back in 2008, I read the novel, “Brave Men Run” ( by
Matthew Wayne Selznick ) on a single flight from Detroit to Denver. Was it short in comparison to some novels? Yes. But I was able to finish the book because I just could not put it down. It was that engaging.

Now, Matthew Wayne Selznick asks us to help him decide if he should write another Sovereign Era book.

Selznick says:

I’ve prepared a six-question survey to assess if it makes sense for me to allocate time, energy and resources toward writing, producing and marketing a new Sovereign Era novel featuring characters from “Brave Men Run — A Novel of the Sovereign Era” like Nate Charters, Byron Teslowski, Lina Porter and the gang. While the book — likely called “Pilgrimage” — has been on the backburner for some time, I’d like to figure out if there’s good cause to actually write it.

Go on over to Selznick’s website and take the survey. Let’s get a new novel. I’m looking forward to this.

What Ever Happend To Rusty Miller?

by Larry on 11 Feb 2008

jedimaster What Ever Happend To Rusty Miller?In 1982 we all wanted to be Rusty Miller. He was only 11 years old, and he had an authorized LucasFilm book, “The Jedi Master’s Quizbook”. I was 11 myself at the time, and had my own “quizbook” that I had roughly put together with my friend Doug. It was a rough compilation of questions we asked each other to try to stump one another. But Rusty had his published. Star Wars was a huge part of every 11 to 15 year old boys life in the early 80s.

One would think that Rusty Miller, now in 36/37 years old, would be an Internet celebrity geek for his early success. When the “Star Wars Page at Texas A&M” debuted (now theforce.net, it was the most popular (and nearly only) website for Star Wars fans. I would have expected Rusty to flock to it, to be found by leagues of fans who at one time wanted to be him. Also, when “the prequels” finally were released, what an opportunity to develop yet another quizbook and capitalized on previous fame. But Rusty is still unknown.

Where is Rusty Miller? He doesn’t even have a wikipedia entry. He was to the 1980s fandom as Kevin Rubino was to the 1990s. Rusty, where are you?

Update:
My post inspired another post, and eventually StarWars.com found Rusty!.

Neil Gaimen: Stardust

by Larry on 03 Feb 2008

stardust book Neil Gaimen: StardustIn a world in which the book is almost always better than the movie, there is always an exception. Stardust is one of them. Though Neil Gaiman actually wrote the screenplay for the movie, the book is so much inferior.

The movie was my favorite movie of 2007, and in my top 10 of all time. If anything, it should have been ‘at least as enjoyable’ as the movie. I actually didn’t finish the book. It was so convoluted that I couldn’t stand to.

Do yourself a favor. Pick up the the movie.
