A 35-year veteran of teaching, Alva Underwood applies her expertise of writing to developing a series of reference books about STAR TREK. After viewing “Devil in the Dark” she became a fan of STAR TREK and following retirement from college teaching focused on creating references for the novels of the original STAR TREK books featuring Kirk, Spock, McCoy and others. A collection of more than 500 novels keeps her in tune with the adventures and provides material for referencing as well as non-fiction materials about the series. When she isn’t writing or traveling, she divides her time between homes in Missouri and Florida.
