Doris (the Younger) Beetem was one of the founding members of DASFA, along with her mom (the Elder) and her younger sister (Rose). She now lives in Houston, Texas, a retired librarian/technical writer with three cats. (Practically a meme in the fannish community!) She is a longtime fan of SF, fantasy, and historical mysteries and was a Trekkie before Trekkies were cool. She's also written fan fiction since she was 16 and hopes one day to write something she can actually sell.
