In this promo for a Star Trek video game, William Shatner and his old friend the Gorn (from the Classic Trek episode "The Arena") mix it up in Shatner's living room. I've always had a soft spot for the Gorn. It's good to see him back.

Once again, I was surprised to discover that more of my books are up on Audible.com! Five Star Rigger books were released in February. That's Panglor, Dragons in the Stars, Dragon Rigger, Star Rigger's Way, and Seas of Ernathe—all of the Star Rigger books except Eternity's End.
You can see the lot of them on my author page, or go straight to the individual titles. I'm still working with the Audible people to get the descriptions corrected (Panglor has the wrong plot description altogether), and not all of the sample buttons are working. But the books are all available. They're also for sale in the iTunes store.
The titles that went up in October are all listed now as being enabled for "Whispersync for voice," which means if you have a Kindle edition you can switch back and forth between reading the ebook and listening to the audiobook without losing your place.

Allysen's back from Puerto Rico, and here's how she looked soon after her arrival. The little fellow is Crunch, who hung out with us for a few hours before going to her home. The big guy, of course, is Captain Jack. They look like they could be related. But they're not.

I've been back home for about a week now, but Allysen and Julia are still in Ponce, packing and seeing to the adoption of puppies. It turns out all the reliable rescue groups in Puerto Rico were already overwhelmed with abandoned dogs, and the shelter in Ponce was having an outbreak of parvovirus. So we got the puppies vaccinated ourselves, and a friend of Allysen's mom helped us find some new homes. Three of the seven have been placed, and homes lined up for at least three more. The puppies are wonderful, but what a job!
Here's the one we call Foremost. (Hindmost was the last to leave the crate; Foremost was first.)
