  • Love You All! Thank you.

    Love to hear all about Trek from a group of older, nerdy PoC women! Bringing some fresh blood into the conversation (“fresh” also in the 90s sense, iykyk)! You all provide a service to Trek and sci-fi fandom and are a blessing to us all. Keep it up. Thank you.

Q: What was your first SyFy book?
My first SyFy movie was Star Wars; I was much more into movies than I was into books at the time.
