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 [email protected] 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
