Haywood Smith

My friend and fellow author Anju Gattani is helping me join the 21st century with my tweets and blogs. so you'll be hearing more from me in the future. I'm always open for questions from aspiring authors or people on low-sugar, gluten-free diets. Also, I'll keep you up on my life as a best-selling author. Most days, I get up at seven AM, then turn on the coffee, feed my three outside cats, then go to the mailbox for my paper. Then I eat a high-protein breakfast , so I can take a boatload of pills and supplements, then I do the Jumble and crossword puzzle to prime my brain for wordplay. Only then do I go to my office and do my e-mail, then start writing. On good days, I'll write for hours with no sense of time. On hard days, I'll sweat blood for every paragraph, but I can't afford to stop writing, even for a while, so I "write through" the rough spots, even though I know it's dreck. When I'm finally back in the groove, I can go back and fix the parts that don't flow. Usually, I work on my writing or the business end of career for eight to fourteen hours a day. (Welcome to the world of the self-employed.)

H. Beam Piper

Henry Beam Piper was born in Altoona, Pennsylvania, in 1904, and died, an apparent suicide, in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, in 1964. Piper's first published story, "Time and Time Again" (Astounding Science Fiction, April 1947), was adapted for radio and aired on the NBC program Dimension X on 12 July, 1951, and again on the NBC program X Minus One on 11 January, 1956. His historical essay "Rebel Raider," published in True: The Men's Magazine in 1950, inspired the fictional teleplay Willie and the Yank, a three-part mini-series which aired on Walt Disney's Wonderful World of Color in January 1967 (and was later released theatrically as Mosby's Marauders). His first novel was the 1953 mystery Murder in the Gunroom and his science-fiction novel Little Fuzzywas nominated for a Hugo Award in 1963. Piper made his living working for the Pennsylvania Railroad and was a member of the National Rifle Association (NRA), the New York Authors' Club, and the Hydra Club. Piper occasionally attended the annual World Science Fiction Convention, attending the 1957 WorldCon in London with his wife. He also attended the 1962 WorldCon in Chicago and the 1963 WorldCon in Washington, DC. After Piper's death, the intellectual property rights to his fiction were acquired by Ace Books (now an imprint owned by Penguin Random House). The late author Jerry Pournelle was granted the right by Piper himself (and acknowledged by Ace) to publish stories set in Piper's fictional settings but, despite decades-long rumors of a sequel to Space Viking, apparently decided not to take advantage of this opportunity. In the early 1980's, Ace commissioned two sequels to Piper's Fuzzy novels, William Tuning's Fuzzy Bones and Ardath Mayhar's Golden Dream: A Fuzzy Odyssey, before Piper's own unpublished sequel, Fuzzies and Other People, was discovered (by Piper's protegé of sorts, Mike Knerr) and published (by Ace) in 1984. More recently, John Scalzi wrote Fuzzy Nation, an officially-authorized "reboot" of Little Fuzzy. Author and Piper biographer John F. Carr, who edited four collections of Piper's short stories also published by Ace in the 1980's, has authored several sequels to Piper's Paratime novel Lord Kalvan of Otherwhen and more recently has written other novels set both in Piper's Paratime and Terro-human Future History settings. Carr has also edited The Rise of the Terran Federation, an anthology of Piper's early Terro-human Future History yarns and new, Piper-inspired stories of the same era written by others.

H. C. Bailey

H. C. Bailey (full name Henry Christopher Bailey) was an English author of mysteries. He took to writing early, publishing <a href=https://openlibrary.org/works/OL16889283W/My_lady_of_Orange>My Lady of Orange</a> (1901) during his senior year at Oxford, and spent many years as a journalist and author of romantic fiction before he began writing detective novels. <a href=https://openlibrary.org/works/OL13112015W/Call_Mr._Fortune>Call Mr. Fortune</a> (1920) introduced the world to Reggie Fortune, a brilliant investigator with a knack for solving chilling murder mysteries, who would become one of the most popular sleuths of the English golden age of detective fiction. Fortune's mannerisms and speech put him into the same class as Lord Peter Wimsey but the stories are much darker, and often involve murderous obsession, police corruption, financial skulduggery, child abuse and miscarriages of justice. Fortune appeared in nine novels, yet it was in a series of 84 short stories that were published from 1920 to 1940 where he truly shone, combining elements of several popular archetypes—the eccentric logician, the forensic investigator, the hard-boiled interrogator, the psychological profiler, the defender of justice. Bailey’s classics are distinguished by well-clued puzzles, brilliant sleuthing, vivid description and social critique, with Fortune evoking images of Don Quixote and the Arthurian Knights in his pursuit of truth and justice in an uncaring world. (<a href=https://mcfarlandbooks.com/product/hc-baileys-reggie-fortune-and-the-golden-age-of-detective-fiction/>McFarland Books</a>) A second series character, Josiah Clunk, is a sanctimonious lawyer who exposes corruption and blackmail in local politics, and who manages to profit from the crimes. He appears in eleven novels published between 1930 and 1950, including The Sullen Sky Mystery (1935), widely regarded as Bailey's magnum opus.
