Reecy’s pieces for the Doctor Who, Vworp Vworp and Whotopia magazines led to her book on the history of the Eighth Doctor’s era, “Leap of Eighth”, complete with an intro by Paul McGann.
She interviewed First Doctor companion Carole Ann Ford on stage at the Long Island Doctor Who convention and gave a presentation at Gallifrey One on the TARDIS’s sound design.
Reecy has a knack for entertainment, and would love to be a guest, interviewer or presenter at your convention as well.

Keeping the Eighth: a history of the Doctor Who EDA novels
Whotopia Magazine, December 2022
The Eighth Doctor Adventure novels put the “wild” in the Wilderness Years.
