Osheen Nevoy: To anyone who's enjoying my writing (and if you are, thank you!!), thanks to my friend and fellow writer Monika the writings of our "Star Wars Literary Guild" have their own web site. So please, anybody and everybody, check out my novel "The Adventures of Darth Vader" (AU where Vader survives The Return of the Jedi and has to deal with the perils of family life), as well as Monika's version of films 1, 2 & 3, her superb novella "Admiral Piett and the Great Ewok Adventure," and fellow SWLG member Kirsty Hartsiotis' excellent "Boba Fett: The Unveiling". These can be found at http://home.mnet-online.de/swlg/index.html -- we'd love to have you visit!

In fall of 2009 my husband, toddler twins and I moved out to Humboldt County, California, to be near the grandparents. I'm working part-time at a local history museum, struggling to find time to renovate the 1880s cottage we just bought, and being continually stunned with how remarkable and amazing kids are (particularly when they're one's own kids!). Previous jobs were 3 years as Director/Curator at the Fairbanks House historic house museum(built circa 1641, the oldest standing timber-framed building in North America), two years working on the Historic Jamestowne project in Virginia and three years (for my sins) as Director of a local history museum in a small town in Wyoming. I grew up in Bloomington, Indiana, did my undergrad work at UCLA, and spent four years at the University of York in England, where I got my MA and D.Phil in Medieval Studies. There I met Monika Simon, Kirsty Hartsiotis and Michael Gaunt. The four of us formed the "Star Wars Literary Guild"; we three women wrote Star Wars fan novels, Michael gave advice and critiques, and we spent countless hours in the pub(s), talking about Anakin and Palpatine's drinking sessions, Luke's love life, and Han Solo's bathrobe. Strangely, people were afraid to sit near us in the pub. Michael and I have since married, with Kirsty and Monika as our witnesses. I have a terrible inability to accept the deaths of characters that I like, and so end up writing vast amounts of prose to bring them back to life.

I should, of course, spend any writing time I manage to squeeze out working on my various novel ideas that I might actually have a chance at getting published! But I have to admit that Boromir has just made a resurgence in my consciousness and is rather insistently requesting an update to "Boromir's Return," so perhaps there is hope for that ...
