Entry updated 13 January 2025. Tagged: Author.
(1915-2003) US author who began publishing work of genre interest with "Lest Ye Be Judged ..." in Fantastic Adventures for October 1950. Of his small but generally competent array of published tales, nineteen (all but two) have been assembled as The Ninth Golden Age of Science Fiction Megapack (coll 2014 ebook); their original appearance in such journals as Astounding, Galaxy, Imagination and If confirms a sense that he was a figure at the heart of 1950s Genre SF for the five years of his active career.
