amqueue: Please, No!  If I were Jacqueline Lichtenberg or Joan Winston,
I would sue!  You're probably thinking about Star Trek Lives! a
non-fiction book about the ST phenomenon.  Jacqueline is best noted in
ST fiction for her Kraith fanzine series.  Joan also wrote The Making of
ST Conventions.

The Phoenix books (Price of and Fate of) were written by Sondra Marshak
and Myrna Culbreath.  They also wrote The Prometheus Design, and perhaps
a few another ST novel or two.  Fandom is remarkably divided on the
subject of whether these books are great literature or trash, but my
vote is strongly for the latter.  They also edited two pro books of ST
short stories, New Voyages I and II, which caused a lot of flack from
the authors whose stories were edited.
