	yeah doesnt look very authentic, but i'd love to see it nonetheless. The publisher is one ive never heard of making it seem even more unlikely in my eyes -----signature----- watching prison break the other night they said the elec chair makes you incontinent. So does that mean that mace windu pooped himself right before he went out the window? Or did Luke make a stain on the death star? maybe DV died of embarasment?

The publisher is one ive never heard of making it seem even more unlikely in my eyes The publisher is a big one over in the UK. Note the age groupings, this is a young adult reader, so it wouldn't be under the DR contract. Also note that this is not a Amazon affiliate page, but rather an actual amazon.UK page, and remember that Amazon UK has a history of providing us early information about Star Wars (that blurb earlier in the year). The only thing that gives me pause, is the fact that Mrs. Fisher has not published SF/F previously, which is almost an universal consideration for getting in on the SW publishing contract. -----signature----- You sadistic Yank!! - McEwok http://www.TheExpandedUniverse.com Don't blame me, I voted for Ron Paul

If this is accurate then I doubt that previously publishing SF/F will be a factor for Carrie Fisher considering her standing in this franchise. That said, while I know she’s a professional writer and script doctor these days, I’m curious as to whether or not she’d want to do this. I admit, I know next to nothing about her, really, but she’s never struck me as particularly involved with the franchise. Perhaps not as uninvolved as Harrison Ford, but still. If true, this would surprise me. My first thought was perhaps it’s a non-fiction book, but if it’s aimed at Young Adults that seems less likely. I remain sceptical but...interested. -----signature----- legatus imperatoris britanniæ superior REMEMBER: X-WING: WEDGE'S GAMBLE DISCUSSION STARTS IN DECEMBER! Han's a girl, so I got a Golden Ewok.

	"Betcha snooty put that up himself." While being flattered that you think I'd have the creative cunning to do such a thing, I'm afraid to disappoint and admit I found it while searching star wars books on amazon sorted by release date (sad I know... oh hang on, for once I'm talking to people who WON'T think that! ) Edited to include quote. -----signature----- Currently reading: Legacy of the Force: Betrayal

	well that's all good news. I'd love to see this especially if it gave insights on Fisher's views of seeing Leia as a mother. But wherever it is it would be a book i'd buy very quickly -----signature----- watching prison break the other night they said the elec chair makes you incontinent.

	Nope, don't know anything about it. I only know that since I started my Upcoming Books and Comics list over at my website, this project was on amazon.com as an audiobook to be released for September 2006. When Sep. 2006 came and went, it suddenly was slated for September 2007. And guess what, now that it is December 2007, the project turns up as a September 2008 release... I hope Carrie Fisher will write some sort of Star Wars book (be it fiction or non-fiction), but I will only believe it when an official announcement (be it from a publisher or herself) will be made... -----signature----- EUDF Rogue 5, Captain check upcoming books and comics at http://www.starwarstimeline.com and through http://www.twitter.com/onceuponagalaxy
