Tricia Joins The Mind Meld At SF Signal

Hugo Award-winning SF Signal hosts a Mind Meld section, which allows a cross-section of science fiction experts to weigh in on various topics.  Up this week:

Many movies, TV shows, comic books, and even video games have gotten the novelization or media tie-in treatment. Be it a direct novelization of the original property or an original story based on the characters, what media tie-in books have been a worthy addition to their franchise?

I was honored to be included in their lineup this week, which included John Meirau, Aaron Rosenberg, Jim C. Hines, Alex Shvartsman, Jordan Binkerd, James L. Sutter, John O’Neill, Wendy N. Wagner, and Chadwick Ginther.

You’re probably not surprised I chose some Star Wars novels, but so did quite a few others. So check it out and feel free to add your own.


Tricia is putting the finishing touches on her first novel, Wynde – a military science fiction with a fantastical twist that features heroines Vespa and Gemini. For excerpts and tales of her adventures in creating a fictional universe, hop over to TriciaBarr.com.
