She’s also a Trekkie. I would love to see her write a Trek novel, in fact.

Her legend grows…

BTW, the link to the book goes to the wrong book. Here’s a link to “Selena Montgomery’s” work:, all of which appear to be on backorder.

And if anyone wants to listen to her nerd out about it you should listen to the official Star Trek podcast.

You should listen to it anyway because it features the amazing Tawny Newsome and the equally great Paul F. Tompkins.

She discusses this, as well as her love of Star Trek and Dr. Who, with David Tennant, the Tenth Doctor himself, in his podcast.

Yes, a great way to put it.

Abrams is a noble giant, no doubt, and this other side of her talented self is wonderful. But she’s also just part of an organized network comprised of many other heroes. The American individualism fetish needs to sit down, and be replaced by recognition that what gets shit done is collective action.
