Lisa Sullivan received her MA in Early Church History from the University of Georgia and completed several years of doctoral studies in the same subject at Union Theological Seminary in New York City. Prior to her one genre publication (as co-author of a story in the Star Trek New Frontier: No Limits anthology) she wrote for the academic journals Semeia and Studia Patristica , and presented papers at conferences in her field both nationally and internationally. She has no idea how she ended up writing for Star Trek, but figures if it’s good enough for Dr. Marc Okrand, it’s good enough for her.

Lisa is a long-time fan of Doctor Who , which was her gateway drug into the fascinating world of British SF television. She currently works in the New York City office of a British Medical Communications company, and alternately impresses/frightens her colleagues by knowing what’s going to be on BBC Three before they do.

 

Brian Doob lives in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada and is the co-host of the British Invaders podcast. He works as a software developer and technical support person for the Government of Canada. He enjoys singing in choirs and working with computers. He has been watching British Science Fiction Television since the late 1980s and insists that the Andromedans should have been the Daleks.
