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.

Winter is in full swing here in the wilds of Wisconsin, along with a pretty hairy ice storm that’s hours old as I write this. Fortunately I’m inside, writing away — and speaking of hairy, I have new reading material in the new Planet of the Apes: Tales from the Forbidden Zone anthology from Titan Books! Edited by Rich Handley and Jim Beard, the book draws upon the original five …
We all learned a few hours ago that Carrie Fisher passed away today, following a heart attack on Friday. Photo by Riccardo Ghilardi My initial response — on social media and off — was that I had no words. In fact, I probably have too many. I will try to organize a few now. It probably won’t help, but it’s better to do something than nothing. This has been a …
The quest is complete! The third book of my monthly trilogy for fall, Star Trek: Prey – The Hall of Heroes, is now on sale everywhere in paperback and e-book form. I’ve written a lot about the trilogy — including, most recently, on the official Star Trek blog, where I discussed the “Emperor without Victories: The Case of Kahless the Clone. I’ve also done quite a lot of podcasts in …
Halo turned fifteen on November 15 — so it’s fun to be right there kicking off Year 16! I’m delighted to announce that my first Halo comics story has just arrived in comics shops. The Halo: Tales from Slipspace hardcover contains “Undefeated,” a post-Halo: Guardians story by myself and artist Eric Nguyen — with colors and letters by my Knights of the Old Republic colleagues Michael Atiyeh and Michael Heisler. …
Trick or treat — or trick and treat! The second part of my novel trilogy, Star Trek: Prey Book 2 – The Jackal’s Trick has just released from Simon & Schuster/Pocket Books as a mass-market paperback and in e-book format.

Busy week alert! At New York Comic-Con, I’ll be doing no less than eight signings for four publishers — and I’ll also be moderating a panel at Book Con, the convention’s sister show devoted to fiction. And in addition to that, we’ll have the world premiere of Star Trek: Prey Book 2: The Jackal’s Trick at the Simon & Schuster booth! Here’s my schedule: THURSDAY, OCT. 6 1 p.m. Dark …
