Rich handley is a writer who contributed several articles and stories about Star Wars. His work includes a couple of "Who's Who" articles for Star Wars Insider ("Imperial Grand Admirals" with Dan Wallace in #66 and "the Max Rebo Band" in #67), RPG articles (one covering Marvel aliens in Star Wars Gamer #1 and the Droids cartoon in Polyhedron #170 with Abel Pe�a), co-wrote a comic book story with Darko Macan ("Lady Luck" in Star Wars Tales #3) and a few pieces of fiction ("crimson Bounty" with Charlene Newcomb in Star Wars Adventure Journal #14 and most recently "Lando Calrissian: Idiot's Array", a Hyperspace Exclusive on SW.com.

He is also a big sci-fi fan, as displayed in his articles for Star Trek Communicator, and his new book about one of the biggest movie franchises titled Timeline of the Planet of the Apes: The Definitive Chronology. This well-researched book is published by Rich's own book company Hasslein Books and is now available through Amazon.com for $29.95.

Here's the product description:

"To celebrate the 40th anniversary of Planet of the Apes, Hasslein Books announces an extensive chronology by author Rich Handley. Every film, episode, novel, comic book and more is covered, from 1968 to the present--including several unpublished works. Along with a painstakingly detailed timeline spanning millennia, this volume features a gallery of more than 350 cover images, a recommended viewing/reading order, an examination of time travel in the Planet of the Apes mythos (both on screen and in print), and a title/creator index of published fiction-plus, insightful notes discussing preliminary and discarded story concepts, inconsistencies and discontinuities, unpublished lore and other fascinating trivia."
