+ | |||
+ | A 2015 Kickstarter-funded fan publication, | ||
+ | |||
+ | The book was advertised as "an illustrated guide to all the women Captain Kirk ever kissed." | ||
+ | |||

+ | |||
+ | > Unfortunately there will be no more Trek-related projects from me. A few weeks after the Kickstarter ended, I was contacted by CBS' legal team about my unauthorized use of the copyrighted Star Trek content. They graciously allowed me to fulfill my promises to my Kickstarter backers if, basically, I agreed not to sell any more Star Trek stuff. On the bright side, that means that all your Ladies of Kirk copies are super limited edition!(([[https:// | ||
