Vonda McIntyre

[Greg Cox]

FYI: I just stumbled onto a nice, new article on Vonda McIntyre.

Vonda was actually one of my instructors at Clarion West back in the day.

Thank you for posting! Now I have an anthology to track down...

Lovely article!

I liked her Star Trek books, but The Moon and the Sun is one of my favorite books ever.

They did a real number on her.

I clicked on the article thinking, "Ooh, I wonder if they interviewed anyone I know...?"

You can get the short story collection here.

Thank you! I had already managed to find it on Chapters/Indigo. In a rare move, I decided to go for the physical version instead of the ebook, since it was only a $6 difference. Only thing is that just this week, I finally ordered the most recent Firefly novel, so now I have to wait for next payday.

If I didn't know who that was supposed to be, I'd think that was late-80s/early-90s Linda Hamilton.

It looked like the work of an illustrator.

(a day later)

Then again, I remember an exhibit at The Tech, in San Jose, that had (as I recall) a robotic artist drawing pictures on demand.

Just curious. The new Firefly book is it "Aim to Misbehave" from last year? Or did I miss a new one?

I love "Dreamsnake".

Yes, that's the one I was referring to. That's why I said "most recent" instead of "new"! I actually thought I had picked it up around Christmastime, but when I decided to read it a few weeks ago, it wasn't there. (And all the times I had been in the bookstore since, I passed it up because "I already have that". And of course now it's gone from the stores, so I had to order it.)

And here I was hoping for a new Firefly book

Every few years I'll pick up "Entropy Effect" for a re-read. It's that good.

Enterprise: The First Adventure is an old favorite of mine. The copy I have must've been my Dad's---I'm not sure from where it came and I've just always had it.

I just got an autographed copy of McIntyre's The Search for Spock novelization for about $20 on eBay. I hope it's legit. I googled her autograph, and this one looks like what google has. I can't imagine forging an autograph and then selling it for $20...

That goes with my small cache of autographed Trek books (TMoST signed by Roddenberry is the crown jewel).
