Baby, Remember My Name
The most commonly reported statistic on Star Trek tie-in fiction is that its readership is generally about 1-2% of the larger audience for the franchise as a whole.
In the hope that a rising tide raises all boats, and a larger audience for the new movie equals a larger audience for the tie-ins, let's move some paper and list the most recent Star Trek outings by the people on my friendslist:
Emily P. Bloch (deltagrl) most recently contributed to the Star Trek literary universe with the short story "Shadowed Allies" in Strange New Worlds 9, edited by Dean Wesley Smith with Elisa J. Kassin and Paula M. Block.
Marc Carlson (marccarlson) most recently contributed the short story "The Immortality Blues" in Strange New Worlds 9.
Keith R.A. DeCandido (kradical) most recently contributed A Singular Destiny, the first followup to the Star Trek: Destiny crossover trilogy. He also edited Mere Anarchy, which collects the six-eBook miniseries "covering 30 years of TOS history" as a trade paperback, and wrote the short story "Family Matters," which appears in Shards and Shadows, a Mirror Universe anthology edited by Margaret Clark and Marco Palmieri.
Allyn Gibson (tiggerallyn) most recently contributed the short story "Make-Believe" in Constellations, an anthology edited by Marco Palmieri which celebrates the fortieth anniversary of the original Star Trek.
Jim Johnson (ineti)--who was cool enough to pick me up an autographed copy of an entirely different media tie-in anthology, Doctor Who: The Quality of Leadership, at last year's Shore Leave--most recently contributed the short story "A Terrible Beauty" in Shards and Shadows.
Gerri Leen (gerrileen) most recently contributed the short story "The Smell of Dead Roses" in Strange New Worlds 10, edited by Dean Wesley Smith with Paula M. Block.
David Mack (infinitydog) wrote the epic Destiny trilogy (consisting of Gods of Night, Mere Mortals, and Lost Souls), which really shook up the Star Trek universe in print. He also wrote the short story "For Want of a Nail" in Shards and Shadows, and his next Star Trek novel will be Precipice, part of the Star Trek: Vanguard series he co-created with Marco Palmieri, which occurs concurrently with The Original Series.
Steve Mollmann (steve_mollmann) most recently contributed the bookend short stories "Meet with Triumph and Disaster" and "Trust Yourself When All Men Doubt You," both with Michael Schuster (michaelschuster), in The Sky's the Limit, an anthology edited by Marco Palmieri which celebrates the twentieth anniversary of Star Trek: The Next Generation.
Scott Pearson (scottpearson), who gave me a really cool shout-out last week, most recently contributed the short story "Among the Clouds" in The Sky's the Limit.
Amy Sisson (amysisson) most recently contributed the short story "'Twould Ring the Bells of Heaven" in The Sky's the Limit.
Paul C. Tseng (exculpatory) most recently contributed the short story "A Dish Served Cold" in Strange New Worlds 10.
Dayton Ward (daytonward) last contributed Open Secrets (whose story was co-created with Kevin Dilmore), the most recent novel in the Vanguard series. They also wrote the short story "Ill Winds" in Shards and Shadows and Things Fall Apart, the first story in Mere Anarchy.
...and of course, my last appearance was "You Are Not in Space" in Strange New Worlds 10.
All of the titles I just listed are also available in paperless formats such as Amazon Kindle, so let's move some electrons as well. ;)
I know some upcoming Star Trek books have been pushed back to 2010, friendslist, but have I missed any of your items coming out in 2009...?
