I was interviewed by Jonathan Lane over at Fan Film Factor about my latest fan film script, Hospital Ship Marie Curie "Under Fire" for Potemkin Pictures. We also talk about my time working on Starship Farragut and Star Trek Continues films. It was a fun interview and there's even a breaking news scoop in there too. You'll have to click the link to see that news. Go HERE to check out the interview. As always, thanks for your support.

If you're interested in the three films I wrote, all are available to view for free on Youtube. I hope you'll check them out and give them a like or a comment.

Starship Farragut "Conspiracy of Innocence"

I was the featured artist guest on Jim Wall's Coaching podcast. We had a great conversation on the writing life, being prolific, Snow, sitting in the captain's chair on the bridge of the USS Enterprise, creating characters, themes, tropes, BEN Books, where all these crazy story ideas come from, and so much more.

Sit back, relax, and give it a listen HERE.

You can also find the interview on YouTube HERE.


Thanks again, Jim. That was fun

Big thanks to everyone who watched Hospital Ship Marie Curie "Under Fire" FREE on YouTube at https://youtu.be/wA14aGRdxbw and also thanks to those who took the time to leave a comment on Youtube.

I appreciate all of the kind words, as I'm sure the Marie Curie cast and crew do as well. I had a blast writing the script and love how it turned out. Great job to the cast and crew for whom this is a labor of love. We do these because we are, ourselves, first and foremost, Star Trek fans.

Thank you.

Bobby

I wrote a thing and it's now live. Please enjoy my episode of Hospital Ship Marie Curie called "Under Fire" FREE on YouTube at https://youtu.be/wA14aGRdxbw and below. It was a thrill to return to the final frontier.

I mailed out some cool stuff today so you know what that means... it's envelope art time. Today's envelope sketch features the USS Enterprise at Warp Speed! #StarTrek

The ladies at the Bethlehem Post Office saw me walk in and the first thing they said was "let me see what you've drawn today!" I'm glad they get a kick out of the sketches too.

Update from Potemkin Pictures on the "Under Fire" episode of their web series, Hospital Ship Marie Curie that I wrote.

I mailed out a package today so you know what that means... It's envelope art time!!!! Whee!!!!!! Today's envelope reminds us of the old Vulcan saying, "To Bend this package is illogical." Thank you, Mr. Spock. #startrek #Spock #USPS

Want some envelope art of your own?

There's two ways to get it. You can commission a sketch from me and I will also draw on the envelope or you can order a signed book from me and I'll draw something on the envelope. If any of that sounds interesting to you, reach out to me at bobby@bobbynash.com and we can make it happen.

I drove my dad to an appointment at the VA this morning. As usual, all parking was full (more patients than space, sadly) so I waited for him at a nearby used book store where I scored some cool paperbacks. #StarTrek #Tarzan #AtTheEarthsCore #FlashGordon

Not a bad haul for $5, eh?

Thanks, Book Nook!

28 years ago. WOW. That was the longest summer between seasons and still one of my favorite cliffhangers ever. "Mr. Worf... fire." Still gives me chills. As a writer, I learned a lot from this episode. Michael Piller poured a lot of story into part 1's 45 minute run time.

Last year, I wrote a short screenplay for Randy Landers' Hospital Ship Marie Curie Star Trek fan series. They run 8 - 10 minute episodes within the new guidelines put out by Paramount and CBS. After touring the sets last year (they are amazing, by the way), I came up with an idea so I wrote an episode called "Under Fire" for them. Today, they filmed the episode, which is pretty darn cool. Sadly, I was unable to be there for the filming, but I look forward to seeing shots when they are available. Follow their progress HERE.

If you happen to be in or around the Birmingham, Alabama area on the weekend of July 27 - 29, join me, Randy, Michael Day, and maybe a cast member or two at the Hoover Library's SciFi/Fantasy Fest 2018 in Hoover, AL. (Hoover Public Library, 200 Municipal Drive, Hoover, AL 35216 | (205) 444-7820). We'll be doing a panel on fan films at the event, which should be a lot of fun. I hope to see you there. www.hplscifi.com and www.facebook.com/hplscifi will have details.

I hope you're having a great weekend.

I borrowed this one from my friend, author Jim Beard over on Facebook: Pondering my most-favorite TV series of all time and I sort of automatically came up with personal criteria for inclusion:

*No longer on the air, seen every episode, could watch any episode at any time, love them even for their faults*

So, using Jim's criteria, in no particular order, my Top Five TV Series of All Time (at least as of today):

M*A*S*H, Night Court, Magnum p.i., Star Trek, and Stargate (those last two I'll just lump all the series together though DS9 and Atlantis are my favorites of each). These are shows that, if I run across them, I will watch.

Honorable mention (since others are doing it) go to Leverage, Deadwood, The Newsroom, Justified, Longmire, Doctor Who,
Nash Bridges, Babylon 5, and Married... With Children. I can watch these shows (and have) over and over again.

What is your top 5? I'd love to hear from you in the comments below.

Bobby
