Another good one gone

Vonda N. McIntyre may be best known for trying to make the novelization an art form, filling out and explaining Star Treks II-IV. (Among other things, she gave Mr. Sulu a first name, which became canon.) She then novelized a nonexistent TV show (Starfarers) and wrote two Nebula-winning novels: Dreamsnake and The Moon and the Sun. It is reported that she finished one last novel before cellular life on its own terms got her.

She named Hikaru? That's tied with Nyota for my favorite Star Trek name, as both are so very approrpiate.

I hope she got my card of thanks. Her writing did wonders for teenage me.
