PHAEDRA M. WELDON has loved Star Trek since watching The
Original Series reruns with her dad, and regrets he didn't live
long enough to see the new Star Trek movie. The thrill of
writing in the Star Trek Universe was a life long dream, realized
when she met Dean Wesley Smith in 1997 and learned of the Star Trek
Strange New Worlds Anthology. Since then, she has published two
Starfleet Corps of Engineers ebooks, as well as book II, The
Oppreessor's Wrong, in The Next Generation series, Sings and
Arrows. She has had numerous short stories published with Daw
Anthologies, and writes regularly for Catalyst Game Labs in their
BattleTech and Shadowrun universes. Currently she is writing for
Berkley in her Urban Fantasy original series, The Zoë Martinique
Investigations. She was recently tapped to write a novel for the
show Eureka! and is working on several other original projects.
Presently she lives in Atlanta, Georgia, but will be moving to
Maryland to be with her geneticist husband and precocious daughter.
She can be found online most mornings at 7 a.m., writing her daily
pages in original work, and at night pounding the keyboards for
original universes. If there is one thing she's learned , it's that
there are three constants in the universe: Death, Taxes, and Star
Trek.
