I’d like to (very belatedly) shout out my publisher @mcfarland.bsky.social for taking my word salad and designing it into a vibrant cover for my book. You can now see a segment in my profile banner, but here’s the whole thing. 🐉

Two years ago, my dream project, a book charting the 30-year history of #Babylon5, was published by @mcfarland.bsky.social.

Now, I'm also finished on my next project for McFarland, a book exploring #fantasy adaptations to the screen.

It's official! The title of our forthcoming new book with @mcfarland.bsky.social will be: Classroom Warrior Against Apartheid - The Life & Activism of Deane Yates. We're delighted with this tweak of our working title & think it has a strong message. Pub date still TBC, but we're now well under way.

Following his playing career, Jim Rushford worked for many years as a heavy equipment operator at a copper mine before entering medical billing coding. I’m pleased to feature him in my upcoming “Beyond the Last Inning: Life and Careers After Playing Professional Baseball” book.
