Librarians have all the fun

stevenkaye tipped me off to Jean Lisette Aroeste, one of four ST:TOS writers with no prior television writing credits. At the time, she was a Star Trek Fan and UCLA librarian.

Also in that august company is David Gerrold, who wrote "The Trouble With Tribbles" in college and went on to a fairly successful SF writing career. When H.A.R.L.I.E. Was One is an old favorite of mine.

Gerrold is a nice guy - he's come to a couple of the science fiction club meetings. I needled him about finishing the Chtorr series. That was probably 15 years ago, and book 5 still hasn't come out.
