I'm Una McCormack, author of three "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine" novels, published by Pocket Books. I'm very surprised by this career turn: I didn't take it up until my mid-twenties, when I started writing fanfiction. Then the internet arrived, so I started posting my fanfiction online. I guess more people were reading it, because I was approached by the editor of the Star Trek books and invited to pitch some stories. Now I write both tie-in stories, and stories in settings I've made up myself. I live in Cambridge, England, where I read, write, and teach. I'm a graduate of Newnham College, Cambridge, and have a Ph.D. in sociology from the University of Surrey. I watch a lot of telly: right now, I'm having a fling with "Chuck", but my one true loves are "Blake's 7" and "Doctor Who".
