Vonda N McIntyre
 Vonda
N McIntyre (born Louisville, Kentucky on August 28, 1948) is a science
fiction author.
She is one of the first successful graduates of the Clarion Science fiction
writers workshop. She attended the workshop in 1970. By 1973 she had won her
first Nebula Award, for the novelette "Of Mist, and Grass and Sand." This later
became part of the novel Dreamsnake, which won both the Hugo and Nebula Awards.
The novelette and novel both concern a female healer in a desolate primitivized
venue.
Vonda N McIntyre's debut novel was The Exile Waiting which was published in
1975. Her novel Dreamsnake won the Nebula Award and Hugo Award for best novel in
1978 and her novel The Moon and the Sun won the Nebula in 1997. She has also
written a number of Star Trek and Star Wars novels, including Enterprise: The
First Adventure and The Entropy Effect. She wrote the novelizations of the films
Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, Star Trek III: The Search for Spock, and Star
Trek IV: The Voyage Home.
It was McIntyre who came up with Hikaru as the first name of the Star Trek
character Mr. Sulu, which became canon after author
Peter David, when visiting
the set of Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country (he authored the comic book
adaptation), convinced director Nicholas Meyer to insert it into the script for
that film. (Source: The Comics Buyer's Guide #1614 (March 2006); Page 10.)
