Autorenporträt

Mary P. Taylor is a trial attorney in Chicago, Illinois, who finds the give and take of the courtroom endlessly exciting and fascinating. A lifelong reader of science fiction and fantasy (as well as anything else she could get her hands on), Ms. Taylor fell in love with Star Trek when it first aired on NBC in 1966. Written Star Trek seemed a logical development to her, and she has read every Star Trek novel ever printed and has published reviews online and for Star Trek fan club newsletters. She lives in the Chicago area with her three beloved cats in a house filled with books, computer parts, cat toys and a few too many Beanie Babies. Her email address is MaryT [e-mail] and she expects to hear from many readers who disagree with her choices for this book.
