Every writer dreams of hearing just four words from his or her agent: "Are you sitting down?" I heard those words when my agent sold my first book after a bidding war between Penguin Books and HarperCollins. They changed my life, but I had to go through a lot of ups and downs to get to that point. This podcast is about those ups and downs, and all points in-between.

Awesome trek insight!!!
Thank you for sharing your behind the scenes trek stories and everything! This is so great!
An enjoyable listen
I enjoy this podcast immensely. It’s a great glimpse into the creativity behind this author and screenwriter. I enjoyed listening to the Star Trek writings specifically, definitely made me nostalgic for the show and want to hear more! Also enjoy the forays into UFO’s, Mark’s experience in the field and rationale point of view is very much appreciated. Overall a great listen!
