Star Trek: Indistinguishable From Magic in spring 2011

Seeing as people are showing interest, I'm half tempted to do a play on RTD's Production Notes from DWM - "the scenes in the can this week include the words 'Nullarbor', 'finite', 'decorators', and the phrase 'get your arses back indoors ASAP.'"

Just to keep up interest...

Some notes on cover ideas for Indistinguishable From Magic have gone to Pocket's art department - most of my thoughts were, however, more about who and what *not* to put on the cover, for spoilerific reasons...

Meanwhile, stuff "in the can" in the past week or so includes the words 'pirouette,' 'restaurant,' 'Klingon,' 'malky,' 'haunt,' and the phrase "This is one of Odo's favorite tricks..."
 
This is one of Odo's favorite tricks: haunt an old Klingon restaurant and malky a girl doing a piroutte.
 
Sounds like a DS9 novel, since it has mention of Odo, a Klingon restaurant, but who knows.

I'm looking forward to it anyway.
 
I'm assuming Nullarbor refers to either

A) The desert in Australia

or

B) The evil twins of the Mabrae from "The Buried Age". :)

I'd buy that for a dollar

Klingon and restaurant are two separate, and I must confess unconnected in the book, words.

That'd be option A

I can't lie - I'd be buying this book no matter what. But keeping up these peeks would've sold me even if I wasn't already. :techman:
 
pirouette..
so does this apply to a ship or a dancer,,

a starship ballet would be an interesting though possibly frightening concept.

I might keep them up then, over the next couple of months - originally I only suggested it as a joke, but if folks like them...

You've never seen 2001: A Space Odyssey...?

I've seen it.

I've read of similar pirouettes in Doctor's Orders.

Not that I wouldn't pay to see such played out again.

(And that was a nice segue back to the title's inspirational source there referring to 2001.)
 
Based on a lot of responses to the "what do you want to see next year" in the State Of Treklit thread, I think it'll be to a lot of respondents' liking

One day we should set up a thread and have everyone contribute one idea each that must be included in a book. Sort of like a Choose Your Own Adventure, except the forum as a whole writes it.

That can't suck, right? It has to be good, I'm sure of it
 
In spite of getting fitted for the stovepipe hat and Guy Fawkes mask today, I did manage to send in and get approved the cover blurb for IFM

But, no, I'm not going to post it here until it appears in a public catalogue...
 
Wow. Looking forward to this!

Looks like we're going truly Outside The Box next year--and unlike this year, it's not just story-wise.

This should prove interesting....
