I treat Star Trek: Full Speed Ahead like a series on television; I write the episodes to around 10,000 words, which is roughly 55-60 pages of material.

Author’s Commentary: The Quarterdeck Breed
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 …
