Greetings! You have arrived at Karen Halliday's personal homepage.

Sites I maintain:

My Photo Life-Lists:    Birds      Mammals     Reptiles       Insects     Wildflowers    
Sundry photos of creatures who have been willing to pose at least briefly. The Birds section is by far my largest collection, since most of my travel is primarily for birding. I'm not a pro, but I've managd to get some pleasing shots - come in and take a look! This site is image-heavy and can take a while to load if you're on a modem:

Other Trip Photo logs:

Venezuela - Dec. 2004

Clackamas Community College Native Plant Garden

Full of my Dad's fabulous wildflower photos - test your Oregon wildflower identification skills!
 
Haggart Observatory, Clackamas Community College
I'm a volunteer amateur astronomer for the Observatory. Come over some clear Saturday evening and Look Up! with us!
 
 
DeForest Kelley Filmography
Exhaustively researched & annotated. Everything the versatile actor who portrayed Star Trek's Dr. 'Bones' McCoy ever appeared in apart from Star Trek.
(Hey, everybody's entitled to a silly obsession...)
 
The Zinedex:
An index to Star Trek (original series) fan-fiction I have read - or at least perused
This is a massive and tedious work-in-progress... but if you like fan-fiction, feel free to come explore while it's under construction. (Okay, so make that two silly obsessions...)

My Star Trek fan-fiction (all of it original-series, McCoy-focused):

Healer of the Wraith     
My novel, originally published by Orion Press, is now available in reprint from Kathleen Resch, kathleener@aol.com. New cover art by T'Guess. 145p.

Romulans, mind-melds, and plagues, oh, my! Fellow fans of the Good Doctor, all I can say is, I wrote the McCoy novel I wanted to read - I think you'll like it!

 

 

"Shadows Over Deneva"
A short story of the aftermath of episode "Operation: Annihilate," in a serious vein.
Appeared in Orion Press's Antares #1. Out of print; not posted electronically.

"Out on a Limb"
A romp, originally appeared in Orion Press's Antares #2; posted in their Archive site and reprinted in their volume Orion Archives, First Mission, part 2.

I highly recommend the Star Trek fan-fiction published by Orion Press - they are well-edited and feature many excellent stories for the Trek-o-phile. My particular favorites are anything by Jim Ausfahl, Pat Detmer, or Anne Zewen. Printed zines frequently feature superb cover art from Christine Myers.
