(1946-2020) US author whose sf novel, The Guardsman (1988) with Todd Cameron Hamilton, is an unremarkable example of interstellar-empire adventure sf in Space Opera vein; its nomination for the 1989 Hugo caused some stir, and there was evidence of block voting. When made aware of this, the authors requested that their novel be withdrawn from the ballot. [JC]
