Day Three of the Ultimate Star Wars book tour started with brunch with a pair of fangirls I have admired: Paula Rosenberg and Kelly Adams. If you attended a panel at the Behind the Scenes Stage at Celebration Anaheim hosted by RebelForce Radio’s Jason Swank and Jimmy McInerney, then you have been under the watchful […]
Ultimate Star Wars Book Tour Journal: Day One and Two
I opened my laptop on my flight from Fort Lauderdale to Atlanta to find the fortune cookie message I stuffed in the crease that reads, “You are a lover of words. Someday you should write a book.” Now I can say I have, “officially.” As the author of a self-published award-winning space opera, part of […]

Hyperspace Theories Episode Eight: Star Wars Rebels
Kay, BJ and I recorded our latest Hyperspace Theories shortly after the season finale Star Wars Rebels. We ended up with so much to say that we’ve split our discussion into two episodes.

Tricia Barr Celebrates Diversity at STAR WARS CELEBRATION ANAHEIM
One of the great accomplishments of Star Wars is its wide cultural appeal. A story spoken in a universal language of myth, it encourages a wide array of opinions on the characters and their actions. From Obi-Wan’s first clues to the nature of Luke’s parentage in 1977 to the conclusion of Revenge of the Sith […]
WYNDE Around the Web: Coach K at the Final Four
Today’s edition of Wynde Around the Web is inspired by the connection between my novel and the real-world championship taking place this weekend. In late January, Duke University’s Mike Krzyzewski became the first Division I men’s basketball head coach to reach the astounding milestone of 1,000 career wins. With last Sunday’s Duke victory over Gonzaga, […]
Hyperspace Theories Episode Seven – Rise of the Jedi Master: Dave Filoni
Despite the number of this month’s episode of Hyperspace Theories, we’re not talking about The Force Awakens, but rather Star Wars Rebels. Recorded shortly after the season finale aired, we consider not just the concluding episode but the entire first season as a touchstone for discussing speculation and storytelling. With Rebels as our topic, naturally […]
