I'm pretty excited to meet him too. I hope he does some signings. I see he wrote some books about Star Trek. I learned from Google that he was there in the beginning when he sold them the Tribble episode. And I also read that he wrote the Star Trek Next Generation show Bible but had a falling out with Roddenberry over credit for it. It was his idea to keep Captain Picard on the ship and send the First Officer down.
And he also wrote one of my very favorite episodes of Babylon 5: The Believers.
Really? I hate the Walk of Fame. It is too expensive and sometimes really croweded. The author room in the Marriott is free. Some authors will sign after panels too if there isn't a huge line.
Just because they're in the Walk of Fame for longer periods. Time is more limited in the author room. The line for the authors are so long and it takes forever too and inevitably there's a panel I want to go to at the same time that the authors are scheduled to sign. But other than that a free autograph would be cool but If he signs at all I'll be happy. I already have something I would like him to sign. I have the 1st issue of Fotonoval Trouble With Tribbles. It's also my favorite original series episode. I just hope he signs.
If he isn't signing, just go to a panel with him and approach him after the panel. Most authors are cool about signing a few things after panels if there isn't a crazy line. I have a VHS of the Tribble Episode, the booklet from the inside of the Babylon 5 DVD season of the episode he wrote, and the latest Star Trek comic book is an adaption of his Tribble episode with the new cast. I'll be looking for him too. Always carry a Sharpie just in case. That's what I've learned.
very nice guy. likes to chat with ppl. personally i want him to finish the fourth book in the dingilliad trilogy, but he probably won't at this rate... -sigh-
Dingilliad? What about the War with the Chtorr? That's been on hiatus since 1993, and is barely halfway done (4 books published out of currently 7 books planned).
