Authors memories on writing Star Trek Novels

[Dr Bonezee]

Can we do a thread where Star Trek authors tell us about books they liked to write, or even didn't like to write?

 

[hbquikcomjamesl]

Seems to me that the latter would make for more interesting stories.

 

[Dr Bonezee]

I agree as well, i just wanna hear some stories!!!

Boy, have I got the book for you.

Still amazed and happy that book was written and released.

Nearly two decades ago. And that's about how long I've had mine.

But that also makes it about two decades out-of-date.

Gonna get this one in a month or so! Thanks for the recommendation!!

"You purchased this edition on November 6, 2006."

I don't know if there is enough interest to actually get it published, but I think we are due for a Voyages of Imagination Vol. 2. Obviously it won't cover as many books, but it would still have to be enough for another volume by now.

That would be amazing!

In audio form, there are podcasts like Literary Treks and Positively Trek that have some good author interview episodes. What other podcasts or websites do people use for getting post-2006 author thoughts?

Just FYI, you don't need to include anything in that link starting with "/ref=". This link works just as well and is WAY shorter.

That book is a steal at that price--particularly on kindle.

It's even cheaper over here across the pond: £2.99!! I've just snapped it up despite almost promising myself I wouldn't buy anything from Amazon ever again. (I'm going to have to go and buy a physical book from a real bookshop to make up for it )

* Checks Amazon Canada * $44. Um, no thanks.

 

[Dr Bonezee]

I am going to buy a copy off eBay should be able to afford it in a week or so.
