Julia Ecklar

American writer From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Julia Ecklar (born 1964)[1] is an American science fiction author as well as a singer and writer of filk music.[2] Her written works include multiple Star Trek novels, written under her own name as well as the collective pen name L.A. Graf.[3]

Ecklar recorded numerous albums with the Off Centaur label in the early 1980s, including Minus Ten and Counting,[4][5] Horse-Tamer's Daughter,[6][7] and Genesis.[8][9] Her Divine Intervention album, released in 1986, was the first filk genre release to combine orchestral and progressive rock arrangements.[1] Songs on the album were inspired by science-fiction and fantasy films such as Star Trek III and Ladyhawke.[10] Ecklar's 2013 album, Horsetamer (produced by Michael Moricz), was her first solo album in 25 years.[11]

L.A. Graf

L.A. Graf is a pseudonym for the writing team formed by Ecklar, Karen Rose Cercone, and Melissa Crandall for the 1992 Star Trek novel #60 Ice Trap.[12] For all later L.A. Graf novels, the writing team was a partnership between Ecklar and Cercone. L.A. Graf reportedly stands for "Let's All Get Rich and Famous".[13][14] As L.A. Graf, Eclair and Cercone wrote or contributed to over twenty Star Trek novels.[15]
