American writing team responsible for the Deep Space Nine Companion, Star Trek 101, the 365 series and Star Trek Costumes, as well as three Ferengi-centred Deep Space Nine novellas.
Paula M. Block spent many years in the licensing department at Paramount and then CBS, where she approved Star Trek books and other tie-in products. Terry J. Erdmann worked as a film publicist and wrote The Secrets of Star Trek: Insurrection.
Together they produced the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion (2000), an episode-by-episode guide built on interviews with the cast and production staff. Later joint books include Star Trek 101, The Original Series 365, The Next Generation 365 and Star Trek Costumes.
They also turned to fiction with three ebook novellas set after the Deep Space Nine finale: Lust's Latinum Lost (and Found), Rules of Accusation and I, the Constable, featuring Quark, Rom and Odo.
