All of it. She wrote Yesterday's Son and Time for Yesterday that dealt with Spock's son Zar, as well as the epic Sarek, about Sarek (dur!), Amanda's life and death and Peter Kirk.
Here's my wish list:
- Just keep going the way it's going now - regular installments spread over all of the different novel lines. Some Vanguard here, some Voyager there, TNG, Titan, an epic crossover every two years...
- Something really special and epic for DS9's 20th anniversary in early 2013.
- DRGIII's unreleased Crucible stories, preferrably in form of the cancelled omnibus, but I guess I'd take an ebook as well.
- As much as I like the authors and wish that their already finished works are finally released, a small and very selfish part of me hopes that the nuTrek novels remain unreleased. My fear is that they will prove to be rather popular, and will lead to us getting fewer real Trek releases.

My wish list is pretty simple:
-another Voyager-R book by Kirsten...
-More DS9 taking place just after RBoE..
-More KRAD! A Gorkon novel or another trek-verse novel like Articles or A Singular Destiny...or both
-More TNG by the likes of Christopher, David McIntee or William Leisner
-More Lost Era..
-More TOS, but not during the 5YM...
...and finally see Slings & Arrows in print! 2012 is the 25th anniversary of TNG afterall...

keeping fingers crossed David I'd like to see you write an Enterprise novel.

Everybody write to Pocket saying that...
^ They still do audiobooks?
I will also toss in TOS novels that take place during the Enterprise's second five year mission post TMP...Ex Machina style. I think that Christopher did a wonderful job establishing the kind of tone that novels set during that period should reflect.
Well, no...that's what makes it part of a wish list.
Well, on that note...I'd love such an audiobook to have Patrick Stewart, Jonathan Frakes, Nicole DeBoer, etc., voicing the characters....
Or at least have Boyd Gaines (audiobook reader for a lot of Trek books), if you can't get Patrick Stewart. Boyd does an excellent Picard!

Vaughn Armstrong is my favorite actor of all time, and I'd love to hear what he could do with an audiobook. Has he ever done one?
That Ascendants story that we've been teased with between 'Soul Key' and 'Rough Beasts' would be nice, as at least a duology if not a trilogy, not two books slammed into one (which, yes, I know, is more due to availability of slots over a desire to just get them published and out of the way, but this IS a wishlist). Also, while I'm on the subject, I have been a firm believer that there should be an anthology for the time period between Soul Key and Rough Beasts timed for the twentieth anniversary.
Also, I want an IKS Gorkon epic about how Klag got promoted and the epic fight with the Kinshaya. Maybe, somehow, Kat could guest? Because I liked her in IFM, and want to see her again.
I'd also like to get another anthology about the various races, something in the 'World of DS9' style with some of the races that haven't had the spotlight as much as others.
That Ben Sisko Lost Era novel about the Tzenkethi War would be a nice addition as well. Now that we know what they look like, I'd like to learn more about them. The glimpse from Rough Beasts just left me wanting more.
I know it's unlikely due to the issues with the four delayed (I hope they're just delayed) stories, but I wouldn't say no to a Kelvin novel. Just something to give these characters a little more resonance.
Also another Captain Pike novel would be a fun read, especially if it included some of the Early Voyages cast. I'd really like it if it could be a conclusion to that cliffhanger, though that's probably unlikely.
And as a personal preference, I wouldn't mind getting a few more stories set during the run of the shows themselves outside of the occasional TOS novel. As much as I enjoy the ongoing adventures of the crew, sometimes it's nice to revisit them the way they used to be.
Oh, one more thing. I'm rereading the Q Continuum trilogy, and I'd be interested in seeing the plot thread of the Tkon Empire's sun device being picked up at some point.

Not necessarily unlikely. The reason for shelving the post-ST2009 novels is that the filmmakers wanted to reserve for themselves the right to move the story forward, but they're okay with tie-ins set before the movie, like IDW's Countdown, Spock: Reflections, and Nero and Pocket's YA Starfleet Academy series. So there's no reason to think a Kelvin book would be off-limits, at least not based on the shelving of the four sequel books.
What I'd love to read:
* Crispin's "Zar"-trilogy
* more Lost Era-books
* the Crucible-HC
* a new KRAD-book - haven't read anything ST-related by him in ages
* more books set within the series' respective timeframes, less relaunch (especially regarding TNG) - which leads me to:
* a little less interconnection between the different series, also a little less politics and (cold) war-scenarios
* more anthologies, more myriad-universe stories

* more Lost Era-books

Added to my wishlist would be the relaunch of the Early Voyages and Starfleet Academy comics...
I don't know if you can answer this or not, but does that mean that after the new Trek movie is released, these shelved novels may be allowed to go forward possibly because they occur between the two movies?
I have no information about that.
