 About "The Cardassian Mask"
I began this novel in the middle of 1995, eventually posting a version
of the text on alt.startrek.creative in July of 1996. The illustrated zine
came out in February 1997, and is still in print after nearly three years,
having sold out three printings. I'm selling out a fourth, so order soon!
Brief synopsis: At a point in the timeline immediately after
"Learning Curve" (the end of the first season), Voyager visits a beautiful, fertile
garden to gather food, but far more grows there than fruit trees... Captain and first
officer make a passionate misstep after Chakotay returns to the ship with a
holorecording of the garden. He discovers a trace of his fugitive ex-lover Seska
in the background of the scene, and Voyager returns to capture her. Tuvok speculates
uneasily about the result of a reunion, and Torres vows to get even with her former
friend. Seska's got her wits about her, however, and she knows far too much about
Chakotay and all the crew of Voyager! And those nasty Kazon are bound to show up any
minute whether she wants them to or not. Suspicion, longing, peril, anguish, joy, and
Neelix's cooking ensues. This was written very much for J/C aficionadoes, but there is
plenty to enjoy for all Voyager and Star Trek fanfic readers.
FEEDBACK: I like all of it. Post, email and discuss away. If you want to toast
me to a crisp, I'd rather
you do it in private so that no one else gets scorched :-) but go right ahead. I won't
cry. I live and thrive on response, and of course on appreciation. Go into as much detail
as you want, since that's how I know what the audience's opinions are. Please write me.
I love to hear from you.
