I just had a fantastic conversation with Adeena Mignogna, who I met at Shore-Leave. She was a presenter doing a talk about space junk, which was interesting enough to hold my attention for an hour and exactly what I was looking for, but she ended the presentation by saying she was going to be in the author room later that night. I already had plans to stop by that room to pick up a bundle of comics and books and swung by her table, picking up a copy of Lunar Logic (which I’m now about 25% of the way through) and chatted with her for a few minutes.
Turns out she has not one, but TWO stories coming out in Star Trek: Explorer, the first of which should be out now, but I feel like I’ve been saying that for over a month at this point. What’s going on with Titan?!
Lunar Logic is just her most recent book, it’s a pleasant stand alone story of a group of robots on the moon, and she has a series of books in a “Robots Galaxy” series that has a follow up collection of books that she’s currently working on now.
She has a wonderful podcast named “The Big Scifi Podcast” that you should out if you’re into science and science fiction!
Our hour long conversation includes a sidebar about how she enjoys world building and stories set in the background of the Trek Universe, astronomy, how her work is aimed at adults but is safe for kids, and her writing process, which involves getting up at 5am. Yes, really.
I talk way too long about my love of IDW’s comic books, but I think I got my point across and I’m really hoping that she’ll check out some of my suggestions and let us know what she thinks!
Oh and in the last 30 seconds she throws it out there that she was able to get Bruce Horak to narrate the audio book version of Lunar Logic.
She has her very first Kickstarter for audiobook versions of her Robot Galaxy book series, It hasn’t officially launched yet, but it’d be real cool if you could click the ‘follow’ button it to help her along and you’ll be notified the moment it goes live.
Adeena can be found on her website, Amazon, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Twitter, and Youtube.
