More on “My Life with Freaks and Geeks”

Posted 2007-08-28 7:00 pm in books by Summer

From Claudia’s newsletter (via Jim Carr):

Claudia Christian’s book, “My Life With Geeks & Freaks” is now available at Amazon.

If you don’t already have a copy, you can order from Amazon at this link

According to Claudia’s newsletter, “She is working on more writing projects that will be longer next time, and your reviews will only help work our marketing.”

Jim also notes: “The first two posted reviews at Amazon are from Dean Haglund (X-Files) and Denise Crosby (Star Trek: TNG)”

More B5 Books

Posted 2007-05-26 8:00 pm in books by Summer

For those who are still looking, I found some of the Jane Killick Season-By-Season guides today.

I’m adding 1 copy of “S2: The Coming of Shadows”, 2 copies of “S3: Point of No Return”, and 1 copy of “S4: No Surrender, No Retreat” to our “book club”. Price will be $7 each plus shipping.

I am working on a shopping cart for the site, so you can just buy the books you need. I wish I could figure out a way to let people list books they’ve rescued in their localities, because I think it might become a bit of a hassle for people to find the books, send them to the studio, and have us send them back out again.

And to the folks who’ve requested copies of the books we found, I don’t have any formal orders yet, nor shipping addresses to figure out how much shipping will cost to send these to you, so go ahead and send that info if you definitely want one of the books available for adoption from our B5 Library.

Claudia Christian releases her memoir

Posted 2007-05-09 9:56 am in books by Tim

As she mentioned when she appeared on the Babylon Podcast, Claudia Christian has now published her memoir, My Life With Geeks and Freaks. An autographed copy is available from her official website. Unsigned copies can be ordered from Yard Dog Press.

It should be a fun read, but I must point out something that bothers me. The cover’s designer used a font more closely associated with Star Trek. Somebody needs to be shoved out an airlock.

Babylon 5 Books

Posted 2007-04-19 2:29 pm in books by Summer

Okay, I’ve added a list of the existing B5 books and their respective Amazon.com links to the Merchandise page.

To my amazement, fewer of them are out of print than I’d thought, but it still boggles me that 3rd Centauri Prime book and the 2nd Technomage book are both out of print, while the others books in those respective series aren’t. How that happens, I’ll never know.

Anyway, here are the books in the batch that Brad Bowyer “rescued” from some of his local used bookstores:

Voices by John Vornholt (OOP)
Accusations by Lois Tilton (OOP)
Blood Oath by John Vornholt (OOP)
Clark’s Law by Jim Mortimore (OOP) (2 copies)
The Touch of Your Shadow, The Whisper of Your Name by Neil Barrett, Jr (OOP)
Betrayals by S.M. Stirling (OOP)
The Shadow Within by Jeanne Cavelos
Personal Agendas by Al Sarrantonio (OOP)
To Dream in the City of Sorrows by Kathryn Drennan (1 original copy, 1 reprint copy)

In The Beginning by Peter David
Thirdspace by Peter David (OOP)
A Call to Arms by Robert Sheckley (OOP)

Psi Corps trilogy
Dark Genesis: The Birth of the Psi Corps by J. Gregory Keyes
Deadly Relations: Bester Ascendant by J. Gregory Keyes
Final Reckoning: The Fate of Bester by J. Gregory Keyes

Legions of Fire: Centauri Prime trilogy
The Long Night of Centauri Prime by Peter David
Armies of Light and Dark by Peter David
Out of Darkness by Peter David (OOP)

The Passing of the Technomages trilogy
Casting Shadows by Jeanne Cavelos
Summoning Light by Jeanne Cavelos (OOP)
Invoking Darkness by Jeanne Cavelos

And, once I’m able, I plan on dropping by a couple of huge used bookstores here in the Valley, and seeing what stashes of B5 novels I can find to add to our rescue inventory.

So, what’s a good price for the books? $5 plus shipping? I’m really open to suggestions, here.
