Author has written 53 stories for StarTrek: Voyager, X-Men: The Movie, X-Men, StarTrek: Deep Space Nine, StarTrek: The Next Generation, StarTrek: Enterprise, Star Wars, Battlestar Galactica: 2003, Harry Potter, Babylon 5, Fantastic 4, and Wizards of Waverly Place. I'm Libertarian, Unitarian, and generally contrarian-- not to mention a pedant who's convinced she's always right! Oddball and crank, that's me. But an oddball and crank with a quirky sense of humor, who loves to laugh, and could no more give up singing than breathing. I met my (equally-eccentric) husband in a Star Trek fan club; we've been married for ten glorious years and have a perceptive seven-year-old son who's already picked up on the fact that we're weird. I've been doing the "fangirl" thing since I was thirteen -- more than thirty years ago, now. "Star Trek" and its various incarnations, particularly Voyager and TNG, have always been my first loves, but in the twilight of Trek I've also developed powerful affections for other properties, especially "Harry Potter" and the new "Battlestar Galactica." People have told me I don't look like what they'd expect from reading my writing. I didn't know what that meant until a friend explained affectionately (well, she SAID it was affectionate!) that I look like a geek who shouldn't be capable of stringing two sentences together, and instead I string them together by the carloads. | |||||||
