Did anyone here know that Stacey Abrams is an award-winning author?

[PatSeg]

She wrote numerous books under the pen name Selena Montgomery. I just bought the first one for my Kindle.

1. She's also a full on hard core Trekkie

[PatSeg]

2. Oh wow

Now I really, really love her!!!

[NewDayOranges]

3. Ms Abrams has written several romantic fiction novels...

I'll have to checkout her work!

[PatSeg]

4. I ordered the first of a trilogy, "Reckless"

I had a credit that was about to expire anyway, so I got it on Kindle for only $2.49. The books are suspense-romance. I'm not a big romance novel reader, but I do love suspense. Besides that, I want to support her.

5. OMG, I think I just might be a Stacey Abrams fan girl now.

Already loved her for her great communication skills, but now I find out she's a Star Trek nerd as well. OK, I am in love. What an awesome woman and I am so grateful for her skills this election season.

[PatSeg]

6. Yeah, the Star Trek fan thing

makes her practically perfect.

[Blasphemer]

7. Yes. CBS is producing a series based on one of her novels... nt

[PatSeg]

9. Really?

[Blasphemer]

15. Thank you!

[Blasphemer]

16. You're very welcome! nt

[Spazito]

8. Wow, I didn't know that!

I thought I couldn't admire her more but I was wrong.

[PatSeg]

10. AND a Trekkie?

She couldn't be much better.

[Spazito]

11. It's a trifecta!

I am old enough to have watched the original episodes as they came out, the tribbles one is still my favorite one of all.

[PatSeg]

14. Yes it is

I remember the originals when they first aired as well. At the time, they were so original and cutting edge. My favorite of all the franchises has been The Next Generation and Picard is still my favorite captain.

[Spazito]

18. I loved The Next Generation but Star Trek is still my favorite...

Spock will always be my favorite character, the episode where his human half becomes dominant was very powerful to me at the time.

Captain Kick was a close second and I was very proud he was a Canadian at a time where Canadian actors were few and far between in American movies and television.

An aside, sort of, have you seen the ads with Picard and Luke Skywalker (Patrick Stewart and Mark Hamill) for Uber Eats, they are great, imo.

(I'm a big fan of Star Wars as well ergo my combining the three of my favorites in this post, lol)

[PatSeg]

21. Oh, those ads are wonderful!

I've watched the first three seasons of Discovery and the first season of Picard. Basically, I like anything Star Trek though some more than others.

As for Star Wars, I loved the originals, but I'm a bit lukewarm on some of the sequels.

[Spazito]

22. Re Star Wars...

I totally agree, The original 3 are what I consider the 'real' Star Wars, the others are sequels which, while good, do not come up to the originals.

[PatSeg]

23. And some of the newer ones

seemed to be primarily the same or similar stories as the originals.

[Spazito]

24. Yes, there comes a time when...

it is better to end on a high note rather than drag it out until the whole Star Wars series are tainted by these 'remakes', imo.

[PatSeg]

25. I agree

It is really sad actually. The reason Star Wars worked originally was because it was something new and original. Remaking the same storyline is rather pathetic, plus the overuse of in-your-face special effects can be rather mind numbing. Just because you CAN do something, doesn't mean you should.

[apnu]

13. I did. She's also a Trekkie and a Whovian

She's awesome in every way.

[malaise]

17. Thanks for this

She is competent out of this world

[SKKY]

19. I was today years old when I found that out.

Makes me like her even more.

[ananda]

20. She's so fucking talented!

I'm not surprised!
