Daniel,

I always have more stories to tell--Stargazer and otherwise. They wake me up in the middle of the night, demanding to be told. And I do expect to write some more Trek books in the near future--I've had discussions with the publisher. However, no plans to write 'gazer books in particular.

Yet.

In the meantime, you may want to check out my Kickstarter campaign re: Cabal and Other Irresponsible Invocations of The Muse. It's for a volume of my original short fiction. If you like the idea, great. If not, no problem. I'd just be grateful if you took a look.

Best regards,

Janice Thank you for friending me. I've watched Star Trek since the late 1960s, read Star Trek since the 1970s, and been a Trekkie, ever since. Scotty was always my favorite. Can hardly wait to read more about Stargazer. Loved that crew. Have a great day.
