(1947- ) US author who began publishing work of genre interest with "The Bidderfrost Dragon" for Coven in March 1970, but as a writer has been one of the less active members of a Texas grouping which included Howard Waldrop, his collaborator on the Near Future The Texas-Israeli War: 1999 (July-August 1973 Galaxy as "A Voice and Bitter Weeping"; much exp 1974), the eponymous conflict being set in a balkanized Post-Holocaust America, where the loss of any sustaining Technology has required the use of legacy Weapons, including tanks, of World War Two vintage. Saunders has subsequently become the owner of a successful chain of shops specializing in Comics. [JC]
