Sonni Cooper was a Star Trek fan writer, fan club organizer, and the author of one tie-in Trek book, Black Fire.
From Cooper's webpage:
As a publicist for Star Trek's William Shatner, she designed, produced, and distributed merchandising items, and was designer and editor of publications that were distributed worldwide. She is also a published author. One of her science fiction novels, Black Fire (Simon and Schuster) was on the bestseller list and was chosen the best Star Trek novel published in the first 25 years of Star Trek. [1]
Cooper was also a diverse voice in Star Trek fandom. Fans felt her letters to Interstat were self-important, bragged about being close personal friends with members of the cast, and one of her roles was to educate fans about fandom in general as well as defining what made fans good fans and bad fans.
Cooper claimed a close alliance with Harve Bennett and made many statements about having in her possession, or having been presented, a script for the second Star Trek movie before it went into production. [2]
