Okay, so at least this time it’s been less than a month since the previous installment of this “irregularly recurring” blog feature. Not too bad, when considering all the other things on my various plates. I originally thought “monthly” might be a good schedule for this sort of thing, but if I’m feeling froggy and…
“Vonda McIntyre writes science fiction.” So sings the author’s pithy bio at the magazine Strange Horizons. Yet the contributions of the science fiction and fantasy icon and founder of Clarion West throughout her career speak volumes, and encompass so much more than you might realize.

In 2008, it seemed like Michael and I had a Star Trek writing career that was going somewhere. Our S.C.E. novella The Future Begins had come out in 2006; the Next Generation anthology The Sky’s the Limit had contained a pair of linked short stories by us in 2007. We began noodling around with novel […]

The crew of the USS Pioneer (my player group’s Intrepid-class starship) finished playing The Whole of the Law, a crazily fun and equally fearsome story created by Christopher L. Bennett for the Star Trek Adventures Roleplaying Game.
We used to have a web site, which contained some supplemental materials to the novel, including a glossary of the Vulcan language Michael worked out, and a timeline of historical events I wrote. That web site was hacked and taken down, and unfortunately, much of the content on it was only stored on the web […]
To the surprise of perhaps no one, my most recent attempt at an “irregularly recurring” blog feature has unfolded pretty much in keeping with my master plan. It’s been four months since the last installment of “Tuesday Trekkin’,” which at the time I was thinking could be a monthly thing.

Between August 7th 2019 and Feb 24th 2021 I was privileged to talk about all of the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine relaunch books (full list with linked reviews below) in this space. It’s been an exhilarating ride, with some tremendous warp-speed intervals on state-of-the-art narratives and, let’s say, a few stretches of impulse power […]
Though I can find nothing official about it anywhere else online, a member of Facebook’s Star Trek Books Community Group is reporting that Della Van Hise, author of the 1985 Star Trek novel Killing Time, died of heart failure on March 3. Assuming that is in fact the case, she was 65.
