Roberta Rogow (b. 1942) is an author of speculative fiction. A professional children’s librarian, she began writing fan fiction in 1973 after a love of
Star Trek lured her to her first science fiction convention. After several years publishing stories in fanzines, she founded
Grip, a multimedia zine focusing on
Star Trek and other science fiction, in 1978. After retiring the zine in 1996, Rogow published her first novel,
The Problem of the Missing Miss (1998), which began the four-volume Charles Dodgson and Arthur Conan Doyle Mysteries.
Rogow’s most recent novel is
Murders in Manatas (2013). She is also a musician who has been playing sci-fi-inspired folk music since the 1970s.
