Terri Osborne is a writer, award-winning costumer, and unrepentant fangirl. Her professional fiction debut was the critically-acclaimed "Three Sides to Every Story" in 2003's Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: Prophecy and Change anthology, which chronicled the brief friendship between Jake Sisko and Tora Ziyal during the Dominion's occupation of Deep Space Nine. Jacqueline Bundy of TrekNation called it "an insightful and poignant story" and "extremely enjoyable ... Osborne was ultimately able to make the sight, smells and bustle of life on the station come alive." Tim Lynch of TV Zone magazine cited it as one of his two favorites, saying it "focus[ed] on interesting characters" and "successfully fill[ed] in gaps that really flesh out the characters." She also wrote the more light-hearted story of Dr. Selar's encounter with the Q, "'Q'uandary" in the New Frontier: No Limits anthology, and the landmark fiftieth installment of the Starfleet Corps of Engineers series, a 24th Century locked-room murder mystery entitled Malefictorum. Her most recent adventure in the Trek universe was her account of the EMH's three years living among the Tahal-Meeroj entitled "Eighteen Minutes" in 2005's Star Trek: Voyager: Distant Shores anthology.
Next up will be Star Trek: Starfleet Corps of Engineers #61: Progress, in which she'll take us back to the people of Drema IV, and catch up with a young woman named Sarjenka. Progress is currently scheduled for February/March 2006.
Outside of the Trek universe, she is currently working on several original fiction projects, set in places as near as Dublin, Ireland in 1940 and as far as the surface of Mars in the year 2035. Visit Terri's official web site at http://terriosborne.com |
