THE EARTH STATION TREK GUIDE TO STAR TREK is the new book from the hosts of the Earth Station Trek Podcast! Featuring twenty brand-new essays covering topics never discussed on the podcast before, or explored to a new depth. The hosts (Veronica Dashiell, Keith Johnson, Charles Kelso, and R. Alan Siler) first announced the book on Star Trek Day 2024 (September 8) and gave their audience a preview of it on the show’s 200th episode. The book will be officially released at the Stellar Fest Convention (April 4 – 6, 2025) in Atlanta, GA.
The APPEARANCES Page has been updated with a full schedule for 2025, including a brand new convention called Stellar Fest, repeat appearances at Dragon Con and Conjuration, and two more GA Indie Book Faires! More will be added when confirmed. Still to be scheduled: the premiere screening event for the release of UNCONVENTIONAL: The TimeGate/WHOlanta Story. Stay tuned for further updates!
We are very pleased to announce our involvement in a new film project chronicling the history and legacy of the science fiction convention known originally as TimeGate and then WHOlanta. Co-founded by kOZMIC owner and author R. Alan Siler, the convention ran for 17 years, from 2005 to 2021. Next year will be the 20th anniversary of the convention’s origin. This film will reveal some of the behind-the-scenes stories of how the con came about, its growth over the years, and the circumstances of its ending told through archival video footage and photos never before seen by the public plus brand-new interviews with con-runners, volunteers, and guests.
kOZMIC is partnering with Minty Pineapple, Everyman Productions, and FWDPWR in the creation of this film. The filmmakers have launched an Indiegogo campaign to help fund this project. Please donate if you can! We are also asking for donations of any video footage from any year of the convention, especially the early years.
Today is the day! The Georgia Indie Book Faire is happening 10am – 4pm! Come join us and meet 50+ authors, publishers and vendors! Look for the kOZMIC table, where Rebekah Mabry will be signing copies of her novel, THE MAD KING!
