Had a lovely talk with Scott Pearson a few weeks ago, and I mention this in the intro to the video, but we were having some pretty rough audio issues for a while here, but we eventually figured it out and go on with the conversation. As with the other interviews, the entry to the talk is Shore Leave 44. He’s been going to the show since 2006, right after his second Strange New Worlds story was published, and has been trying to make it to the show ever since.
He was able to offer some great insight into working with licensed properties (no making up new family members in books, only movies and tv!), and we briefly discuss the fact that he’s one of the few Trek authors that has books that were only digitally published and never made it to paper.
He’s currently doing a Hammer rewatch with a write up of each movie. He’s a fan of the classic monster films, Dracula, and Frankenstein. I tried a few times to talk him into doing a mash up of classic horror icons and Trek, we’ll see how far that idea gets!
Scott can be found at his own site, Facebook, and Twitter.
