  TIM SULLIVAN, is an American science fiction novelist, screenwriter, actor, film director and short story writer. Many of his stories have been critically acknowledged and reprinted; his short story “Zeke,” a tragedy about an extraterrestrial stranded on Earth, has been translated into German and was a finalist for the 1982 Nebula Award for Best Short Story. “Under Glass” (2011), a well-reviewed semi-autobiographical short story with occult hints, has been translated into Chinese and is the basis for a screenplay by director/actor Ron Ford. Sullivan edited a horror anthology for Avon Books, Tropical Chills, in 1988. He also published his first novel, Destiny’s End, in 1988. This science fiction novel was followed by The Parasite War in 1989, The Martian Viking in 1991, and Lords of Creation in 1992, and another horror anthology, Cold Shocks (Avon, 1991), among other books.

  DON WILCOX was the working name of US writer Cleo Eldon Wilcox (1905-2000), who taught creative writing at Northwestern University; his claim in sf circles that his real name was Cleo Eldon Knox appears to have been fictitious. Most of his work, sometimes as Cleo Eldon (once), Miles Shelton or Max Overton (twice), was for Ray Palmer’s Amazing Stories and Fantastic Adventures, where he published his first story, “The Pit of Death,” in July 1939.

  ARTHUR LEO ZAGAT (1896-1949) was extremely prolific in a number of Pulp-magazine genres, publishing about 500 stories; of the relatively few that are sf, several were with Nat Schachner, including Zagat’s first, “The Tower of Evil” for Wonder Stories Quarterly in Summer 1930. The eleven tales produced collaboratively before they separated in 1931 were Zagat’s best early work. After about 1936, most of his work appeared in Argosy, including the Tomorrow series, set in a Near-Future Post-Holocaust USA.

  GEORGE ZEBROWSKI is an award-winning novelist, story writer, essayist, editor, and lecturer. He is the author of the novel Empties (Golden Gryphon Press) and the editor, with Gregory Benford, of Sentinels in Honor of Arthur C. Clarke (Hadley Rille Books).
