Harvey Hamer

A Long Time Ago…

A Long Time Ago… was a fortnightly series on my newsletter, exploring my dual passions of prehistoric art and the Star Wars timeline. The first fourteen posts paired sites from my WIP novel with chronological sections of fiction on my shelves. The series continued fortnightly with guest posts from contributors of all sorts, from writers of licensed Star Wars works, to other creatives, readers and archeological/historical experts. While now released irregularly, the series still seeks contributors to share their favourite Star Wars story and favourite historical site.
