In 1972, Michelle Wyllie was born in Aberdeen, where she still lives. She was first introduced to Star Trek by her late mother, who had been watching The Original Series during its run on Sky One in the late 1980s and early 1990s. From there on, Michelle started watching other Star Trek TV series, such as The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, Voyager and Enterprise. Her favourite of all the series is Deep Space Nine, although she has also watched Strange New Worlds, Picard and Lower Decks. When she is not watching Star Trek, her hobbies include creative writing. She is a member of the Lemon Tree Writers group in Aberdeen. Identity Theft, by Greg Cox, is the first novel she has ever reviewed and she hopes to improve her creative writing by doing more reviews in the future.
