There are those who believe… So began the opening to Battlestar Galactica, which debuted 40 years ago this month on ABC. I was one of the kids in the audience that night — and every week that followed that season. So I was delighted when Dynamite Comics tapped me to write a comics miniseries for this fall, focusing on the original cast. What’s even cooler is that the first issue is …
With Meredith and the “Hot Wheels” car I haven’t blogged much at all this year, because I’ve been busy writing — five different projects at various stages, none of which can be announced — and I’ve also been traveling, including to another fun Joliet Star Wars Day and a very successful All-Star Comic Con in Tysons Corners, Virginia. But it’s the most recent trip that’s worth a photo journal! As …
Jedi are trained diplomats, but farmboys? Not so much! But Luke has to learn in a hurry as he’s forced to pinch-hit for Leia on a diplomatic mission of major importance to the protocol-obsessed Sarkans — and even Threepio might not be enough to save him from starting an intergalactic incident! Will Leia have to bail him out? I share the story in Star Wars Adventures Annual 2018, releasing April …
Star Wars: Canto Bight is now on sale, in hardcover, ebook, and audiobook! Four interconnected novellas describe the casino world from Star Wars: The Last Jedi, where the wealthy and powerful go to escape (and ignore) the galaxy’s troubles. All stories set the same night! I’m joined by Saladin Ahmed, Rae Carson, and Seanan McGuire (writing as Mira Grant). The audiobook’s great, with my story, “The Ride,” read by Jonathan …
There’s been a whole bunch of news, and things have only slowed down long enough now for me to be able to post about them: This week sees the release of Star Wars: From A Certain Point of View, in which I have a story about the Tusken Raiders we see in Star Wars: A New Hope. This charity edition supports First Book, a literacy organization, and includes stories from …
I’m part of The Journey to Star Wars: The Last Jedi! As announced in Entertainment Weekly‘s article and at Comic-Con International: San Diego, I’m one of four authors giving viewers a look at Canto Bight, the playground for the rich seen in this December’s Star Wars: The Last Jedi. Star Wars: Canto Bight releases as a hardcover, audiobook, and ebook on December 5, a week before the film opens. I’m …
It’s was an insanely busy April for me, event-wise, with Galaxy Comics’ Anniversary Star Trek Day in Memphis followed by Star Wars: Celebration in Orlando and Planet Comicon in Kansas City — and May starts out busy, too, with two events in the Chicago area May 6… 12 p.m.: Algonquin Public Library 3 p.m.: Arlington Heights Public Library …and then another at the Portage County Public Library in downtown Stevens Point, …
Quite a lot of news to tell! First of all — teased yesterday as #OperationBlueMilk, Del Rey and StarWars.com have announced my next Star Wars story in the Star Wars: From a Certain Point of View anthology. You can find the official announcement here, and also below: When Star Wars: A New Hope was first released in 1977, part of its appeal was that the world it presented felt alive. …
Tuesday this week marked ten years that I’ve been writing full-time — and 100+ comics and nine novels (depending on how you count them) later, I’m still at it. This week adds a couple of releases to the shelf — or, rather, one book and one audiobook. First off, Wednesday sees the release from Marvel of Star Wars Legends Epic Collection: The Old Republic Vol. 2, comprising issues #19-37 of …
The audiobook for the critically acclaimed first book in my Star Trek: Prey trilogy is now available from iTunes and Audible! Robert Petkoff narrates the whole trilogy, and it’s a lot of fun to listen to. I worked with the producers on a lot of the pronunciations, as did my Klingon-language advisor for the series. You can hear a clip from it below, in which Captain Picard hears a voice from …
