Jean I. Lorrah (born 28 November 1940; age 83) is a Star Trek writer.
She was born in Canton, Ohio, and was a professor of English at Murray State University in Murray, Kentucky from 1968 to 2008. [1] Among her non-Trek work, she is best known for her "Savage Empire" series.
In 1968, Lorrah, a Star Trek fan, submitted an unsolicited script titled "Kathi" to the producers of Star Trek: The Original Series, which co-producer Robert H. Justman read, but turned down. (These Are the Voyages: TOS Season Three, p. 12)
