A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Agora
In 1987, Robert D. Griffith answered a call from his dog that
he go to serve among the cutest of the rich, and moved to Kingston’s
student ghetto. There ever since, under the top secret code name of R.
Drew Griffith, he has taught Classics at Queen’s University, one of the
two most prestigious universities in Kingston, Ontario. Among his
courses is CLST 205: Ancient Humour (a.k.a. “Very Old Jokes”).
Robert B. Marks is a professional writer and editor in
Kingston, Ontario. He holds degrees in Medieval Studies and English
Literature, and has close to 250 short publication credits, and two
books published. Every year he puts a pillow under a big red coat,
colours his beard white, and delivers gifts to children around the
world, for which he is currently wanted for breaking and entering in at
least thirty countries.

The Secret History of
Star Wars
Michael Kaminski was two years old
or
less when he first saw Star Wars and immediately was entranced
by its magic spell; the event was significant in another major way in
that it was the beginning of his fascination and passion for cinema
in general. Many years later he found himself graduating from
Vancouver Film School and immediately found work in Toronto in
various forms in the camera department, from cinematography and
camera operating to camera assisting. He is a member of the
International Cinematographers Guild and has worked on productions
such as Degrassi: The Next Generation and The Incredible
Hulk.
In spite of a budding career,
Kaminski
still found time to write The Secret History of Star Wars
between — and often on the set of — films, an effort that consumed
three years. Originally released on the internet out of sheer passion
for the subject matter, without a single advertisement the e-book
became popular through word of mouth, and in a few months had been
downloaded close to 100,000 times.
Currently, Kaminski is pursuing a
degree in history from the University of Toronto, specializing in
ancient near and middle-eastern civilizations.

John-Allen Price is an independent historian from Lewiston,
New York. He is the author of several historical fiction novels,
each one meticulously researched. He is also the author of the

is his first non-fiction book.
