I knew I got that from somewhere...
I am also looking forward to the DTI novel. I always enjoy CLB's work (Ex Machina is still my favorite Trek novel).
Curious about the new Typhon Pact entry, though I am not happy to hear that it's a novella and eBook exclusive. I haven't made the transition to eBooks yet and I don't think this will be sufficient motivation for me to do so. However, if Pocket decides to offer more Trek titles as exclusive eBooks while continuing to publish the same number of paperback novels, it might be an interesting way to expand the Treklit universe. Perhaps one paperback novel and one eBook per month? You'd be able to double the volume of Trek material without killing any more trees or spending money to manufacture the physical, bound copies.
Well, I'm happy it's just a novella, because my workload for the year would be way too heavy if it were a whole novel. 
I'm excited about a return to eBook exclusives, not just because I'm 100% Kindle now, but also because I just like seeing publishing companies playing with ideas and trying new things. Not to mention, the Trek universe is so vast and the number of books per year so small at this point that there is *certainly* room for random novellas filling in gaps and providing bonus adventures. Good stuff. I hope it does well.
And of course, very excited for Forgotten History. Now that DRG3, Christopher, and David Mack (x4
) are on the schedule for next year, all we need is another Beyer novel and it'll be 4 for 4 of my favorite Trek authors.

It kind of is, at least for me. I've reread public domain things like Sherlock Holmes online when I've forgotten to take a book into work for lunch. Not really as enjoyable, and I prefer the feel of a good book. Maybe I'm just a luddite(guess I'm reading the wrong series then, heh).
Cool, I'll have to reread that. Been quite a long time since SNWII.
All "GF&F" does is give a date (or rather, the variable needed to calculate it); there's far more explanation for that date in my post above than in the actual story text.
However, Dayton Ward's Lucsly/Dulmur story "Almost, But Not Quite" in the same volume of Strange New Worlds independently offers much the same explanation for the DTI's origins.

Right you are. What I alluded to, Dayton states fairly explicitly -- it's all Kirk's fault.

I meant simply to reread.
I have a pretty poor memory so I tend to do that quite often. I hadn't actually recalled that I owned the book until I went to Memory Beta to see where that story was from, but the cover's so striking, even I remember owning that.
Now I have just to find it amongst my books...
That's what DTI lore asserts... but there's always a difference between how an event is remembered and how it really happened. The question is, what parts of history have been forgotten...?

Or indeed were fabricated to start with, I should think
Congratulations on both; I'm looking forward to them, though I'm one of those hoping the e-novella gets a dead-tree release somewhere (I can't afford an e-reader, and my computer chair isn't nearly as comfortable for reading as my couch).
Awesome, Christopher! Congrats! 
On the one hand, as I've stated before, i would have thought the most appropriate regular crew through which to explore the Kinshaya would have been the Gorkon, not the Enterprise.
On the other hand, I'm sure you know what you're doing.

Well, if Keith had gotten the gig, maybe they would have. But they wouldn't be the right characters for the particular story I'm telling.
I'm glad to hear you've got another couple irons in the fire Christopher.
I'm sad to be reminded that the crew of the I.K.S. Gorkon will probably never see the light of day any time in the near or even distant future.
