About the Author, Margaret Clark

Doug Drexler & Margaret Clark both grew up on Long Island, New York. At the very same time they became fans of the original Star Trek ® show. Fate being what it was, neither knew the other at the time, though they were mere miles apart. Doug left for California. Margaret stayed. Their lives intersected when Doug began working on a television show called Star Trek: The Next Generation ® — and later on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine ® — and Margaret began working on Star Trek books. It was the beginning of a beautiful friendship.
