Entry updated 7 September 2023. Tagged: Author.
(1923-2011) US author who, after serving in World War Two, began publishing work of genre interest with "Tergiversation" in Lilith Lorraine's The Avalonian (only issue, 1952), publishing around twenty sf stories over the next fifteen years for journals including Galaxy, If and Planet Stories. Much of his work during his career, which lasted until 1994, was nonfantastic; his last sf story was "The Inspector" in The Farthest Reaches: 12 Never-Before-Published Tales of Intergalactic Space (anth 1968) edited by Joseph Elder. None of McKimmey's seventeen full-length books are sf. [GSt/JC]
