I never noticed the first time I read The Wounded Sky but I ordered a copy of Doctor's Orders and they accidentally sent me another Wounded Sky, and while flipping through it I realised for the first time that your bibliography at the back included papers by McCoy and Spock! I already loved this book for so many many reasons but now I've discovered another fun secret.

... That biblio was one of the most fun things to write in that whole project. ...No reason everybody else shouldn't see it:

...Partly the bibliography came as a reaction to finally being free from the months and months of research into hyperspatial physics I did before serious writing on that book began. I was lucky enough at that point to be living in a tiny apartment at the corner of Reseda and Prairie in the San Fernando Valley, directly across from the Cal State Northridge campus. During that period I practically lived in the college's science library, increasingly snowed under by papers many of which I could just barely understand. (Remember, you're dealing here with someone who hit calculus and bounced. And is still embarrassed by that.) ...So when I finished writing the novel, this last little splash of citation-speak spilled out: something between a joke and a formal farewell to a job I'd loved, but which was a lot of heavy lifting and hard work.

It also had one delightful bit of completely unexpected fallout. The paper by J. Richard Gott III (hey, he's got a Wikipedia page!) was possibly the most useful of the many, many articles and books I dug through in preparation for writing the book... that being why I wanted to include it in the biblio. I was kind of stunned, therefore, when the paper's extremely distinguished author got in touch with me some months after publication to thank me for citing him (!!) and to ask if it was all right if he used The Wounded Sky as a teaching asset for his astrophysical sciences courses at Princeton. (!!!!) Of course I said yes. And then wandered around for a few days in utter astonishment.

...Anyway: glad you had fun with it!

*Because the world of scientific papers isn't without its jokes. Still thinking fondly of one paper I came across entitled "Taub-NUT Space as an Answer to Practically Everything."

“Our Lady of New Frontiers, Nichelle Nichols”

My last painting of 2022, and I wanted it to be a painting carrying me into the new year, a tribute to an amazing and inspirational woman.

Star Trek has been a show I have watched since I was a wee one. I started with TNG as a child, but when I finally watched TOS in college, its impact was undeniable, both today and especially during the time it aired.

Although the famous speech says “final frontier”, Nichelle Nichols was a woman leading the way onto new frontiers, a beacon of hope, resilience and possibility. So that is what I wish to carry with me into the new year.
