Star Trek: The Next Generation
Star Trek Fiction Roundup
During October, when I wasn’t reading mysteries, I was reading Star Trek novels, because they’re quick and fun, and after writing all day I don’t always have enough brain power to read in unfamiliar worlds.

A fanfic author I respect once said that she didn’t think it was possible … Continue reading »
