Back in 2002, I was kind of on a writing tear with my fanfics. I had completed a novella called “The Misadventures of January McKenna,” and since I was on a serious roll, I was looking for another project to work on and I ended up writing an original piece. I will leave the title …

Introducing Star Trek: Linear
In my WIP post from12 February, I spoke a little on the subject of this project that keeps kind of creeping up on me. I had some time to take a look at some of the logistics of doing a story where the central plot takes place on a planet-based colony rather than on a …
