More good news from the publishing trenches, my friends: All three books in the Star Trek Destiny trilogy have been Locus Magazine bestsellers in Media-related Fiction, in January, February, and March 2009.
Best of all, Gods of Night was Locus’s #1 Bestseller in January!
So … ahem … I will now be referring to my recent work as “the bestselling Star Trek Destiny trilogy.”
Like y’all needed another reason to smack me and key my rental cars…

Its money quote (in my opinion):
“Mere Mortals ends on a major cliffhanger that left me on the edge of my seat. I’m eagerly awaiting the conclusion — Lost Souls, set to release in late November. Again, Star Trek fans, don’t miss this crossover trilogy!”

As of this evening at 9:15 p.m. ET, the draft manuscript for Star Trek Destiny: Mere Mortals, is finished. Final word count: just a wee dram over 100k.
Spell check is completed.
Now I’m putting it down for 48 hours. Tomorrow is a day off with my lovely wife, and on Wednesday I must report back to my full-time job.
But on Wednesday night, when I come home, and after I have dinner, I will begin my read-through and polishing draft. If all continues to go as hoped, it will be off to my beta readers over the weekend.
And while I await their feedback, I will begin the last leg of my literary death march, into part the third: Lost Souls.
Happy New Year, f-listers!
~ Dave
