I’ve loved Star Trek since before I was old enough to know how to turn on the television for myself, fifty-two years ago. Some of the characters in this series of books, such as Colin, Josi, and T’Dani, are ones I’ve carried in my head for many years. It’s an honor to share them with you; it’s been a long road, getting from there to here! These books also contain characters accurate to the Enterprise-B as captained by Harriman, such as Raphael Buonarroti, Uta Morell, and Tenger.

Professionally, I have degrees in science and sociology, and I currently work for the State of Oregon. My writing credits include the nonfiction book The God Who Comes; Dionysian Mysteries Revisited, an historical account of the ancient mystery religions of Greece and Rome published by Algora Press. I’ve also written numerous nonfiction articles for Shaman’s Drum Magazine and Cooking Wild Magazine, as well as having published poetry in journals such as Sierra Nevada College Review and through the National Writer’s Association.
