The new novel "Star Wars -Last Jedi" was announced today on the Star Wars books facebook page with over 200 'likes' in one day. Gene Mollica - Outstanding cover artist for this book commissioned me to do the props for the photo shoot. A lot
goes into making these covers fantastic and correct. I built the Sith Holicron, Light Saber, and a holstered blaster(not shown in the final pose). It is a highlight of my career to be a part of the Star Wars Universe. Thanks for the opportunity, Gene. Thanks for the honor.

This is Beth Ciotta's new steampunk book, "Her Sky Cowboy."
This is Gene Mollica's beautiful cover artwork.
And that smoke wagon the cowboy has, is my "Gemini" pistol, steampunk sculpture.
