MY JEDI MEMOIR | Kirkus Reviews A medical doctor, bestselling novelist, and Hollywood insider shares details from his eclectic life.

Excerpt: "The memoir explicitly tailors its behind-the-scenes vignettes to Star Wars fans, pulling back the curtain on the production of Jedi and blending Luke’s heroic journey with Kahn’s own life as he came into his own as both a writer and a physician."

These Two Classic '80s Movies Take Place in the Same Universe - And No One Noticed Steven Spielberg isn't the only connection.

Elsewhere I mention that Mikey and Robbie were cousins, though I don't dive any deeper than that.
You can read all about it - along with lots of other well-cached details and easter eggs - in My Jedi Memoir, A Double Life, available now at tinyurl.com/JediMemoirAm...

These Two Classic '80s Movies Take Place in the Same Universe - And No One Noticed Steven Spielberg isn't the only connection.

It's true! I created a same-universe connection between Mikey Walsh/The Goonies & Robbie Freeling/Poltergeist. In The Goonies, Mikey mentions that he once broke his arm falling into an excavation at the Cuesta Verde housing development-the same development where the Freelings lived in Poltergeist.

Emergency Room Stories, Part 3.
I spent the 1980’s & '90’s writing for Hollywood and working as an emergency room doctor - a double life! My memories of those times provide the fodder for these crazy, funny, poignant, outrageous, surreal, and revealing tales.

The opening line of the book, "So my name is Mikey Walsh," is meant to draw the reader into this boy's personal story.

As if it were being told to me by the hero like a true story that happened to him. Jim Hawkins in the case of Treasure Island, Mikey Walsh in the case of The Goonies.

Part IV - I wrote the Goonies novelization in the manner of Treasure Island, one of my favorite books of all time.

It was 7/8 scale, with spider webs in the rigging, jewels scattered all over the place, and it was really cool. Like revisiting my childhood dreams, and the first novel I ever heard read, #TreasureIsland.

Part III - While I was writing the #Goonies novelization in late 1984, in #Spielberg's office on the #Warner lot, I'd take writing breaks by walking around Willie's pirate ship, sitting in 3 feet of water on a sound stage.
