Working name of Godfrey John Nelder (1947- ), German-born UK author, Fellow of the Royal Meteorological Society, teacher and editor, in the UK from 1951. He has been an editor for Adventure Books of Seattle, Washington, since 2003, co-producing the 2007-2009 Hard SF Semiprozine Escape Velocity with Robert Blevins, with whom he also edited Escape Velocity: The Anthology (anth 2011). His first sf novel, Exit, Pursued by a Bee (2008), features "time-quakes" – geographical Timeslips that disastrously rearrange Earth's landscape – and efforts to halt these upheavals by communicating with the Aliens indirectly responsible.
