DS9: The Never Ending Sacrifice

[altariel]

Pocket Books announced their upcoming Star Trek schedule at Shore Leave last weekend, and if you scroll right down that page to September 2009, you'll see my name attached to a forthcoming DS9 novel called The Never Ending Sacrifice: "Continuation of the post-TV DS9 saga with emphasis on the Cardassians."

The Never Ending Sacrifice is the title of a book that Garak called "the finest Cardassian novel ever written". I'd better not disappoint.

In the meantime, you can read me coming across as grumpy in an interview with SFX about franchise fiction and shared universes.

You won't disappoint-- I doubt you'd let a story out of your sight if you weren't satisfied with it! :)

Yayy!

You sound excellent in that interview, btw, and not grumpy at all. So there.

Terrific interview! Thanks for the link. I'm looking forward to The Never Ending Sacrifice.

Woo!!!

[espresso-addict.livejournal.com]

Ooooh! What a great title! Really looking forward to it already...

(And I'm with gair on the not coming over as grumpy.)

Oooooooh. Been a while since I bought any new Trek books.

Brilliant. Lookign forward to reading it. Is it in editing at the moment?

Ooh! Good for you on all fronts! I don't think you came across as grumpy (not that it would have mattered if you did), I think you were very articulate and cool and right. And I want to be you when I grow up. So there.

Another novel?! That's absolutely marvellous - congratulations!

And interviewed? You're becoming famous. Couldn't happen to a nicer fellow.

*fangirls you with hearts and flowers and dances*

Are you planning to be a trifle repetitive in your version of The Never Ending Sacrifice?

I didn't read you as grumpy in the interview. More as firmly putting them to rights and in their place vis-a-vis hoary old chestnuts re tie-ins and "original" fic. Yay you!

I'll try to get that book... somehow. I was always wondering what that Cardassian novel was about.

[kendokamel.livejournal.com]

Woohoo!!!!

[edge-of-ruin.livejournal.com]

Oh well done! What great news! And a great title. "The finest Cardassian novel ever written" - any idea what the others are like?

I enjoyed the interview - not at all grumpy.

Congratulations!

[hafren.livejournal.com]

Great interview!

[fallingtowers.livejournal.com]

Congratulations on the book deal!

I also hugely enjoyed reading this interview. You sound very lucid, succinct and informative, not even a bit grumpy at all.

I'm looking forward to any number of upcoming Trek books to one degree or another, but when I saw The Never Ending Sacrifice I thought "altariel + Cardassians = book of the year." So, um, no pressure.

[sugoll.livejournal.com]

Hurrah! And interviews to boot. Honestly, you're taking over the planet, woman!

('bout time, too.)

[paranoidangel]

Ooh, how very exciting! Have you started it yet? :)

[kerravonsen]

Grumpy? I see no grumpy here.

(is glad that your goodness is recognised)

[steepholm.livejournal.com]

Grumpless eloquence personified! And "Yay!" on the novel.

[stultiloquentia.livejournal.com]

Ooh. My roommate has been doing her best to lure me into DS9, but as per usual, I suspect I'll eventually be lured in via the kitchen door -- i.e. by fan writers such as you. Awesome interview, IMO.

[greylin.livejournal.com]

Excellent news - congratulations! I really enjoyed the interview. :)

I can't imagine you disappointing.

With regard to the interview, nice one! I think you start off by giving the first question the clear answer that it deserves, and the rest of it comes across with self-awareness, humility and generosity. As for grumpiness, I don't think so.
