My newest book, ‘Stunt Lightsaber Combat for Beginners: The Unofficial Guide to Dueling Like a Jedi‘ launched the other day and already it’s been well received. The Facebook Page for the book, Lightsaber Combat, has gained over 640 followers and 38,000+ post impressions within the first 24 hours.

This is certainly one of my most unusual textbooks; the majority of my work is focused on social media marketing and business strategy, but like anyone else I have hobbies and interests that lay outside my career. I’ve had a lifelong interest in the martial arts and I’m a fan of Star Wars, and this book allowed me to bring those two interests together.

Anyway, I’m really excited about how well the book is doing. Here are some of the comments so far:

I’m planning to write a sequel book that will cover more advanced drills and also incorporate some Tai Chi sword meditation forms, as I think that would be very appropriate.

Anyway if you are interested you can purchase your own copy here, ‘Stunt Lightsaber Combat for Beginners: The Unofficial Guide to Dueling Like a Jedi’. It retails for $9.99 on Kindle and $19.99 for the paperback.
