WRITING UPDATES:

I've finished my Star Trek--TMP piece for Main Enterprises' What Ever! #5! I'm uncertain of Jim Main's desired release date for the issue, but I do believe that when it hits, it'll please readers, in that it covers both classic Trek and Disney's The Black Hole: a perfect, cosmic combo. 

And Eighth Tower Publishing's Dark Fiction #4 is also on the horizon, with Raffaele Pezzella and Sara Walker putting the final, editing touches on the volume. It'll cater to H.P. Lovecraft's translucent Outer God, Yog-Sothoth. (My story for #4 is called, "Yog-Sothoth, Beyond the Border".) 

In the meantime, I have other creations (for Main) in the works: an article on the Sir Conan Doyle Lost World television series, for an undisclosed title, and for Pulp Fan #6, a retrospective on prolific pulp artist, Emery Clarke.

Though my "free" time remains limited due to my "day job", I do appreciate (and relish) these writing opportunities. Bizarrechats is also a practical means to extend such activity. Be assured that more updates and reminiscences will come on those topics that you (and I) most enjoy. Stay tuned. 

WHAT EVER! #5 IN THE WORKS: BLACK HOLE MEETS TREK

Main Enterprises' What Ever! #5 is at long last in development and will cater to Disney's The Black Hole and classic Star Trek, with a combination of in-depth articles and outstanding artwork. (As one can see below, Tim Faurote's grandiose, team-up image epitomizes the issue's meteoritic intent.)

The Black Hole's primary competition in Dec '79 was, in fact, Star Trek--the Motion Picture. I'll be contributing an article on the latter, which is once more set to grace cinemas in grand, 4K UHD restoration.

Star Trek--TMP was a blockbuster in its time, but like Black Hole, controversial. The Trek revival took a more cerebral approach to tell its tale, and languid existentialism doesn't always please.

Nevertheless, I plan to do justice to the Enterprise-vs-V'ger exploit, even if I'm finding it quite an undertaking, considering all the available information on the movie's production and legacy.
