Entry updated 23 June 2025. Tagged: Author.
(1938- ) US computer programmer, singer-songwriter and author who began publishing sf with "Night-Eyed Prayer" in Amazing for May 1971, though his later "After You've Stood on the Log at the Center of the Universe, What is There Left To Do?" (April 1974 Amazing) was more notable. With Thomas F Monteleone he wrote a play, U.F.O.! (performed 1979 Sandy Springs, Maryland), which has not been published. Time's Fool (1981; exp as coll vt Time's Fool and Other Stories 2013) is an unremarkable though moderately appealing sf adventure in Time Travel, and comprises in its 2013 iteration the central rendering of his loose Time Dippers sequence. The Seventh Wind: A Picaresque (2022) carries an impoverished pop musician into an interstellar Space Opera universe, where his performances may aid in the saving of the galaxy (see Music). [JC]
