Pen name of the American academic Sarah Higley, who created Reginald Barclay in her script for The Next Generation's Hollow Pursuits and shared the story of Deep Space Nine's Babel.
Sally Caves is the name under which Sarah Higley, an American professor of medieval literature, has written fiction and television scripts.
She wrote Hollow Pursuits for the third season of The Next Generation, the episode that introduced Lieutenant Reginald Barclay, the anxious engineer who retreats into holodeck fantasies about his crewmates. Barclay, played by Dwight Schultz, became a recurring character on that series and on Voyager.
She also shares the story credit, with Ira Steven Behr, on the first-season Deep Space Nine episode Babel, in which an aphasia virus spreads through the station.
