Chuffed to bits with this review of The Never-Ending Sacrifice. For many reasons, but it's particularly nice to hear it described as "a good science fiction novel". Because we try very hard.

Big ask: Is there anyone who would be willing to translate a German review of TNES for me? It's around 2300 words long.

An interview with me by the good people at Unreality-SF.Net. Interview contains the following three words: Spartacus, handicap, and chunks. Yes it does.

Yay me

Today is the official publication of The Never-Ending Sacrifice. Yay me. Here is a jolly nice review.

To mark the occasion, I have treated to myself to a vanity website, which you will be able to see here as soon as the internet updates itself. In the meantime, you can sneak preview here. Hie thee over and let me know what you think.

It's here!

Guys, a MASSIVE BOX full of copies of The Never-Ending Sacrifice just arrived! And doesn't it look SHINY lined up with the other two!

You can now read an excerpt from my soon-to-be-published novel The Never-Ending Sacrifice on the Simon and Schuster website, here.

Also, coming to a newsagent near you real soon now, Star Trek Magazine 20 contains an extract and review, along with other goodies related to some film or other that came out earlier this year. Available early August in the US, mid-August in the UK.

PS Still on my hols and writing this from one of the reception rooms here.

We are back from our Christmas visit to K&J&R where we ate and drank and were merry, saw the wonderful and brilliant [livejournal.com profile] toft_froggy, played many excellent games, including hide and seek with a tiny person and the highly addictive Zeus on the Loose, and OF COURSE watched Ghost Watch.

While I was away, the cover art to The Never-Ending Sacrifice was released: article about 2009/2010 Trek releases here or cut straight to big image here. I think it's smashing.

Last year I wrote a novel and a short story or two, read many books and essays, became a godmother, and I have landed in 2009 bright-eyed and bushy-tailed. Today I'm going to do the washing, finish Anne Enright's The Gathering, make a planetarium, and perhaps catch up on some email. Happy New Year to you all, may your eyes too be bright and your tails extremely bushy.

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.
