Birthright
Published by Laser Books, 1975
Ice Prison

Vulcan!
Published by Bantam Books, 1978
This book is a Star Trek tie-in novel. The story itself is not a novelisation but
an original work by Sky. In my opinion, Vulcan! is a brilliant tale and explores
the character of Spock with insight and understanding.
Death's Angel
Published by Bantam Books, 1981
The second of two Star Trek tie-in books by the author, with another original
plot. Sky's inspiration for this novel was the rather fun idea of setting a murder mystery
aboard the Starship Enterprise.
Witchdame

A sequel to this fantasy novel was planned but sadly never saw publication.

Sources and Acknowledgments:
In the process of compiling this bibliography, as well as referring to my own
collection of literature, a number of online sources were consulted, not the least of
which were The Internet Speculative Fiction
Database and Philip Stephensen-Payne's Galactic
Central website, the latter a home to William G. Contento's Fictionmags
Index.
Addenda:
Sky's writings have been reprinted extensively in foreign language books. Listing
these publications is beyond the scope of this webpage. However, information on those
publications wherein her work has appeared in translation can be found at the
aforemetioned ISFDB website.
The Kathleen Sky byline is derived from the author's first marriage to Karl Sky. After
marrying Stephen Goldin, the author decided to continue writing as Kathleen Sky.
