I’d like to tell people about my latest novel, the Aquarium. It’s about a group of CIA agents who investigate a haunted aquarium. This aquarium is loaded with paranormal phenomena, including horrific monsters that have been mutated by psychic powers. Here’s the link on Amazon.com:

But it looks as if this whole site is starting to die. I was really interested in the Projects section, but there's nothing there . . .or am I just blind?

I love using bulletin boards, because - well, it's easy to keep straight who's saying what.

<> Or is this group more email than web board?

Wow, this board is dead. Maybe we should start the embalming process.

Woohoo! I've learned that the earlier news about Trek XI is incorrect. More details're at http://www.empireonline.com/news/story.asp?NID=18614 At this point Abrams still seems to be leaning towards doing a story set during the time of Kirk. It MIGHT turn out OK, but this is not taking a bold new step in the future with the Trek franchise. Gene Roddenberry didn't always go in the right direction with Trek, but watching how Trek is being twisted about gives me food for thought regarding making one's story ideas the property of a studio whose leadership changes every few months. Unlike Lucas, Roddenberry didn't own his own company, so Trek didn't necessarily pass into good hands after his passing. There have been some excellent people, though, like Harve Bennet, Ron Moore, and Michael Pillar. Along with some not so hot producers, who dragged Trek into the ground and ran it off the air. Berman and Braga come to mind.

Hi all,

I'm passing this along from someone who got it off an AOL board, I believe.
