Out of this World: SE Gilchrist

Never will I forget that pivotal moment the music exploded and “A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away…” crawled across a star-studded screen.

The cinema could have burned to the ground. Rats could have nibbled my toes – who cared? I was no longer on Earth.

I was Princess Leah, I was Han Solo, I was Luke Skywalker – and I battled and over-threw the evil Darth Vader. The special effects, the surround sound, the cute droids were awesome – but for me, it was the characters that claimed my imagination for all time. My dreams were consumed with piloting the Millennium Falcon through an unknown galaxy with Han Solo. The amazing adventures we’d experience were as infinite as space. I’d dance in that funky bar with weird aliens. I’d be a female Luke Skywalker and the Force in me would be bright and strong – no one could beat me with my lightsabre in my hand.

Years and countless day-dreams later, the Star Wars movies inspired me to invent my own space-opera series. And so my first science fiction romance, Legends Beyond the Stars was born.

In my memories, the force in Leah, Han and Luke will burn forever and be as bright as any star.
