Hi everyone,

I’m new to STV forums. I look forward to reading your fan fiction and joining in some of your discussions.

Some background info…
I am a full-time parent, casual Medical Educator and hobbyist writer.
My husband Rick and I have been married for 14 years and we have six terrific kids! - yes, you read that number correctly. Our children range in age from 13 years down to 9 weeks.

In Australia, we’re still in populate or perish mode, so basically we’re just supporting the government in its “One child for Mum, one child for Dad, and one child for the Prime minister” policy, with a few spares. Actually, we feel very blessed! Kaitlyn, Sean and Leah are ours by birth. Ryan and Emma were adopted from South Korea after a very long wait. And little Lochlain joined us from the foster care system. Life is hectic, and I’m slightly sleep deprived at present, but it’s all good.

So why did I join STV.com…
At this moment, the first three chapters of my latest full-length Star Trek: Voyager novel are sitting in a slush pile on someone’s desk at Pocket Books. It’s been almost a year since my manuscript was forwarded. It’s frustrating, but not entirely unexpected as my two previous attempts at Star Trek fiction also took about a year for my agent to get a reply.

My story, titled Symbols, was written to be the missing link between “Resolutions” and some of the left-field plot developments in “Endgame.” It’s a reflective story, an ensemble piece, but with some significant Janeway/Chakotay moments.

I thought some of you might enjoy reading Symbols. Like all writers, I need feedback. And if nothing else, if you're interested in writing professionally, reading Symbols could give you a better idea of what's most likely being rejected by Pocket Books these days. So anyone who’s interested can drop me a quick email on suzj1@hotmail.com and I’ll forward you a copy.

Best wishes,
Suzanne.

Welcome Suzanne! Hope you enjoy StarTrekVoyager.

Wow, writing a Star Trek novel. I always wanted to contribute to Star Trek in some way, like writing a novel. Alas, my writing skills (and inspiration) are not so good. So I stick to watching the series instead
