Go: It’s All About the Game

diana — Sat, 04 Sep 2010 17:49:11 +0000

I’ve been remiss in sharing my recent appearance on Gateworld’s 100th podcast a few weeks ago where I talked about my new Stargate SG-1 book as well as giving my thoughts on the latest in the franchise, Stargate Universe. Their site really does cover all things Stargate and the Omnipedia has been a constant help [...]

Book in Hand – An Existential Moment

diana — Fri, 27 Aug 2010 03:23:12 +0000

I came home last night to a box of books written by yours truly. The book has finally come out. After months of effort – writing, rewriting, editing, chewing my fingernails while it went into the blackhole of MGM only to emerge months later (in all fairness, the person in charge of licensing at MGM [...]

Antarctica Ahead!

Now that Stargate SG-1: Four Dragons is hurtling across the globe to bookstores everywhere, I’m working on the sequel. While I can’t give away too much, its obvious I need to share a key element of “The Drift” as it takes place in what I would consider to be the most alien place on this [...]

ComicCon ’10 – THIS is what it’s all about

diana — Sun, 01 Aug 2010 01:01:19 +0000

Late report, but worth a mention. Yes, the lines were too long, but the networking and collaborative spirit were high. Yes, the stabbing deflated the pop culture party of the year, but having a teenager run up to me to return a $10 bill that dropped from my pocket made it all better. Yes, the [...]

Eye Candy Emmys – The VFX Nominations

diana — Thu, 08 Jul 2010 16:25:48 +0000

The Emmy nominations came out today and of course, there’s much to be excited about – from Dexter to Glee to Good Wife and whatever series floats your particular boat. And yes, there’s plenty of the traditional “eye candy” (e.g. pretty actors/sets/costumes) to look at in all those shows. But there’s an entirely different type [...]

SG-1: Brought to you today by the letters U & Z

diana — Sun, 04 Jul 2010 23:22:19 +0000

Looks like my SG-1 media tie-in novel, Four Dragons, just might make its August 16th release date. MGM has happily signed off and galley proofs should be ready for my final read-through in the next 24 hours. For those who haven’t been keeping score (and yes, there’ll be a test at the end… or rather [...]

Quick! Where are the earplugs?

diana — Sun, 04 Jul 2010 21:38:52 +0000

Seems like everyone in a 5 mile radius of my home woke up this morning with the same realization: July 4th can’t be celebrated without a well manicured lawn. Hence, it was decided — through some mutual telepathic means — that everyone would synchronize their lawn mowers for a 9am chorus of mechanical whirs. Happily, [...]

Saying Goodbye

diana — Tue, 01 Jun 2010 23:45:11 +0000

Though I’ve just returned from the Timegate Con and have much to share, today’s post is a pause… a reminder of those souls who come into our lives and give so much of themselves. Today is the day I said goodbye to the smartest, most loyal, most loving Border Collie to ever grace the the [...]
