"Defying the odds, New York Times-bestselling author Howard
Weinstein became a professional writer at age 19, when he sold a
script for "The Pirates of Orion" episode to NBC's Emmy-winning
animated Star Trek television series in 1974--while still a student
at the University of Connecticut. An award-winning author of 16
books, he is best known for four decades of contributions to the
legendary Star Trek universe--including seven novels, 65 comic
books, graphic novels, and story-development contributions to the
beloved movie Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home, /em>.
Non-fiction credits include a biography of baseball superstar
Mickey Mantle; Puppy Kisses are Good for the Soul, a memoir about
his first great Welsh Corgi, Mail Order Annie; and numerous
articles and columns in major newspapers and magazines (including
The New York Times and Baltimore Sun).
He has taught writing classes and workshops at dozens of schools,
colleges, libraries and media conventions. Following his other
passion, he started Day-One Dog Training in 1998, and continues to
help Maryland dog owners teach their pups to be great pets. Contact
