Last year, all my buddies were having a ball at Trek Long Island, and it sounded like too much fun to pass up. I reached out to con organizer Stefanie Gangone, who was delighted to have me come for their second show.
I can’t tell you how excited I am about a pure Star Trek con; it’s been years since I’ve attended one. The guest line-up is pretty impressive, with many actors I have not had the pleasure of hearing speak or meeting.
I’ll be there along with fellow Crazy 8 Press co-founder Mike Friedman and a gaggle of other author pals, which will make for an enjoyable weekend. I’ll have a table and will be bringing along mostly my Trek books, as seems appropriate, along with a few other goodies.
I even made it onto the schedule, which delights me, although the one I was most looking forward to, the Star Trek Comics event, is opposite the one featured guest I was asked to interview. Phooey!
For those attending, here’s where you can find me:
