During WordCamp Phoenix and PodCampAZ, I shared with my audience that I was too excited to just [...]

I periodically post my most recently collected quotes (over the past 3 months). I just love collecting quotes, because there's a novel in every sentence--it's high-impact reading. I collect these from many sources, though more than a few of the following were presented to me by The Quotations Page , which I use as my homepage. Enjoy! "I will permit no man to narrow and degrade my soul by making...
Some of these reviews can also be found on Amazon . In August 2009 I read the following books: 1. People of the Wolf , by Michael and Kathleen Gear This book could have been so much better. It is apparently the beginning of a series of fictionalised accounts of the peopling of the Americas, this first volume covering the arrival of the first humans. There's even a kernel of a good story in here. Unfortunately,...
Rather than focus on the weird corporate merger of Disney and Marvel, I prefer to bask in the joy of the upcoming Dragoncon in Atlanta, GA this weekend (Sept. 4-7, 2009). The movie and television industry will field an impressive list of genre performers at the popular media show including William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy, Edward James Olmos, Mary McDonnell, Bruce Boxleitner, Patrick Stewart and cast...

You have to have a script to work with in order to do the novelization. An outline would be horribly inadequate. You also hope for supplementary materials.
Over at Author Central they're planning a special series starting today: Every day during August a different author will be spotlighted in their own thread in our Author Central forum. We encourage all to visit on that day and post photographs, reminiscences, cover scans, links to appropriate sites, reviews, and other reactions.

My latest contribution to the Forgotten Books Project started by Patti Abbott . For the complete list, head on over to her blog. Back in the late 1970s, Alan Dean Foster was my introduction to science fiction. He wrote the novelizations to the Star Trek Animated Series, expanding 22-minute cartoons into longer stories with more depth and characterizations (here's my review from earlier this year)....

After enjoying the recent Star Trek remake/reboot/whatever in theaters, I decided to sit down and take in the first movie series again. It was nice to really just sit and watch them for the first time in a while (especially for Becca; she'd never actually seen Star Trek: The Motion Picture all the way through, so for her it was like getting a new Trek movie). Here are my overall reactions. Star Trek:...
