I’m going to Shore Leave 44, and while Robert Greenberger isn’t going to be able to attend, he’s been to so many of them that Howard Weinstein put me in touch to talk about the show and so much more. He’s done a ton of Trek work and has worked franchises like Predator, Planet of the Apes, Green Hornet, Zorro, After Earth and a soon to be released 400 page “Definitive History” of Superman, written with fellow former Trek author Edward Gross.

I ask him about “Q’s Guide To The Continuum” and why it hasn’t been released as a digital book yet.  While there’s no good answers, his are about the best we’re going to get on the topic.  That brought us to how ebook sales peaked a few years ago and audio books have eclipsed digital sales, something that surprised me.

We also spoke about IDW’s current output and how happy we’ve been with it. I think I’m eventually going to want to track down authors / artists / editors for that series and see if I can get them to talk about those projects.

He ends the call by giving me fantastic advise on how to plan my trip to Shore Leave.  Now I think I have a complete list of things to do or look out for, the first of which is to check out the program guide for the show and make a wish list of what I want to do.
