Paul Giamatti's character is an absolute menace in Starfleet Academy, and Holly Hunter's Captain Ake just stares him down and says everything by barely speaking. Just a wonderful dynamic.

Over the years, I've been fortunate to have work published in French, German, Czech, Croatian, Spanish, Catalan, Italian, Japanese, and Russian. I don't have artwork for all the editions, and I certainly don't have physical copies, but here's a sample of the covers of those translated novels.

I enjoyed The Mercy of Gods by James S.A. Corey. The pace is slow, but as it's the beginning of a series, there's a lot of information and scene-setting to be done. The aliens are imaginative, the humans flawed and engaging, and the scale truly epic. I look forward to the sequel.

Writing this last year was a dream come true. As a kid, I began watching when Tom Baker was the Doctor, and I devoured all the Target novelisations of Doctor Who adventures in my local library.
