Why must you disappoint us so, Leisner?

The new episode of Generations Geek, the podcast I do with my daughter, features special guest New York Times bestselling author Kirsten Beyer as we discuss the twentieth anniversary of Star Trek: Voyager, recall some of our favorite and not-so-favorite parts, and also talk about Kirsten's...

I shall call this the Bennett Loophole and refer anyone disappointed in my choice of shuttlecraft to this post. :techman:

:lol: But I took the whole shuttlecraft, not just its name! None of the odd little shuttles glimpsed in Star Trek: The Motion Picture served my needs, so I just decided to give the Enterprise a proper big shuttle. I like to think it was sitting in some corner of the shuttlebay already, we...

I should warn everyone that I retconned the shuttlecraft Copernicus, which we didn't see until the Enterprise-A, back onto the refit Enterprise. Because reasons. Discuss. I will take lashings with a carp as needed. ;)

My goal was to not break any Ex Machina continuity outright, but maybe bend things a little bit to give my story room to go its own way. At this point, I've kind of lost track, so I'm counting on continuity nerds like yourself to figure out what I did and then come up with retcons to fix it! I...

With only three days until its release, I realize I should have posted something like this earlier. But here's a slightly more detailed synopsis that could go on the back cover if it weren't an eBook. ;) "When Dr. Christine Chapel and Spock have to evacuate Audrid Dax from the Enterprise due...

It's six months plus or minus whatever's necessary to land it right between all these other events in its own little window. Beyond that, I'll let the Timeliners arm wrestle to decide the best day of the week for it to start! ;)

I pop in now and then from the sidelines of my alternate universe to see what's going on. With no new Trek works on the horizon, however, my visits grow more infrequent. I do like to see what other fans are saying about the books, though, so after I read something new I often check in on the...

Paul Simpson, while at Star Trek Magazine, got to herd us writers around, making sure we hit deadlines and word counts, and was largely successful, mostly because he made us wear the Collars of Obedience. I had the pleasure of turning the tables on him when he wrote That's What They Want You...

Re: S&S catalog updates - Cold Equations, Plagues cover, and a new Hay That's it exactly. Like when people say, "Only an ass like Mack could have written that book." Same thing.

Re: S&S catalog updates - Cold Equations, Plagues cover, and a new Hay Nevertheless, I definitely prefer Mack's books to be fully assed.

Wow, thanks! Sorry it took me so long to notice this and reply. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Aaarggh . . . typos. No matter how hard everyone tries, a few always slip through. I'll have to track those down and let my editor know in case they can fix on reprint. That was a fun part of writing...

Sure. There are a couple of character bits I still like in that scene, but overall it was weak, meandering into the story instead of getting things moving. It also included one of the novella's many obscure in-jokes about William Schallert. I mentioned Baris reading old Western novels...

Thanks! Now I can't help but think about how I'd like to do more with Baris's wife, Sima. I did get the chance to add a little bit to her role in the editing process, thanks to some great feedback from CBS, but there simply wasn't room left to do more. Early in the process, as I outlined...

It's not quite the same thing, since I wouldn't expect anyone to recognize my name compared to someone like Greg, but I found myself in a discussion on a Myriad Universes 3 thread with some people expressing their absolute disbelief that anyone would write about Nilz Baris, and it seemed clear...

IIRC, all the production costs of the scuttled Phase II TV series were rolled into TMP. The movie really did start out in the hole.

Re: Star Trek: Typhon Pact: Civil Disobedience [Kindle Edition] It can be frustrating and embarrassing depending on what not-ready-for-prime-time material goes public by getting entered into the database earlier than it should have been. Or stuff like the author's name being misspelled all over...

Re: Star Trek: Typhon Pact: Civil Disobedience [Kindle Edition] From my personal experiences at my day job at Zenith Press, I can tell you that publisher databases are now linked to Amazon in a birth-of-Skynet kind of way, so preliminary information often turns up on Amazon automatically...
