Star Trek: Jens Deffner interviews Keith R.A. DeCandido "Marco Palmieri came to me and said, 'How'd you like to write 23rd-century Klingons for a change?' I jumped at the chance, especially given what we learned in Affliction and Divergence on Enterprise about how the smooth-headed Klingons came about.

Even the red herring suspect in the bakery murder isn’t just a means to further the plot, he’s a real human with a background and even gets some kind of closure..."

Iris Wildthyme: Rachel Steffan reviews The Claws of Santa "Iris Wildthyme and the Claws of Santa is, basically, the perfect stocking stuffer for people who hate Christmas. There's nothing like a hefty dose of cynicism, insanity, and shameless meta to inject a bit of cheer into an otherwise horrible time of year, after all..."
