He has worked at an amazing variety of jobs over the years (mail clerk, bookkeeper, junior accountant; VW mechanic, assistant service manager, service manager, car salesman; appliance, furniture, and insurance salesman; school-bus driver; pet-store owner and manager; gravel-truck driver; intra- and intercity bus driver; typesetter, legal secretary, court-reporting transcriber -- to mention only a few). His pastimes have been equally varied, and have included (apart from LOTS of reading) flying, motorcycling, sailing, skin-diving, photography -- and racing (he was a Formula Vee champion in the sixties, in a car designed and built in collaboration with a friend). Currently he is acertified shorthand court reporter (the term 'stenographer' is held in very bad odor among practitioners of the profession) working in north central Florida with his wife, also a court reporter. Their family consists of (at latest count) four cats, two dogs, a parrot, and a horse. 'Emergence' was his first novel. Parts I and II appeared in the January 1981 and February 1983 issues of Analog, and were his first and second sales. 'Threshold' is his second novel. He is currently working on the sequel to 'Threshold', also to be published by Bantam."

Biography (adapted from her web page): Moved several times in 1960's and early 1970's; six years in San Francisco Bay Area; Fayette County, western Pennsylvania; parents divorced when she was in seventh grade and discovering first fantasy then science fiction; father started her writing in 6th grade through 10th grade; articles and satires for the schoolpaper; decided to become clinical psychologist; University of Pennsylvania on full scholarship, studying psychology, working part-time and summers, usually in jobs towards career in social work with teenagers. In the summer before junior year, wrote first completely original short story since 10th grade: "Demon Chariot", five whole pages, each word a drop of blood; a year later, sold first short story; took fiction writing course in senior year; teacher (David Bradley) wanted to see a novel based on her own experiences; remembered the ideas which had resulted in all those stories when younger, typically with teenaged girl heroes; thus she began first sword and sorcery novel. Never finished my psychology degree; drifted through rent-paying jobs, until father and stepmother invited her to Idaho; worked as a housemother in group home for teenaged girls; sending out a 732-page novel, THE SONG OF THE LIONESS; moved to Manhattan, to start publishing career started; agent recommended turning SONG into four books for teenagers; Jean Karl at Atheneum books saw the manuscript, agreed to take Tamora on--after rewrites. While rewriting/expanding Alanna's story, worked as secretary, helped start radio comedy and production company; wrote, acted and directed; I also met "outgoing, talented, funny actor/videomaker named Tim Liebe. He lied when he said he didn't want to get married." She suggested that he type his notes on sound production for home videos, and sell as article. This launched his writing career, making him a slave to deadlines as a regular contributor to both paper and online magazines (HYPERZINE, THE GIST). He is now Senior Editor/ Hardware for new PC gaming magazine, COMPUTER GAME ENTERTAINMENT. They live in Manhattan with cats and budgies, plus "a floating population of rescued wildlife."

Post's 1960s reprint in paperback of "The Shadow" by Walter B. Gibson started the great book revival of pulp fiction and radio plays, which brought authors such as H. P. Lovecraft and Robert E. Howard to a new generation of readers, and helped fuel the great comic book boom. {Walter B. Gibson (1897-?) Super-prolific author of almost 500 books; American stage magician (confidant of Houdini, Thurston, and Dunninger) best known for creating "The Shadow" for the Smith & Street pulp "The Shadow Magazine" and then writing almost 300 (!) Shadow novels. The Shadow is a cross between Sherlock Holmes and Houdini, a rule-breaking arbiter of his own personal sense of justice (which does not always agree with the state's legal apparatus), who conquers criminals through a combination (new to fiction) of analytical deductive detection and gun-slinging force, while remaining intellectually above the fray, and using magical tricks of invisibility. The Shadow novels are ingenious artifaces of ambiguity, misdirection, strange crimes, costumed super-criminals, red herrings, and structured confusion. Gibson created several parallel but lesser magician/detectives: Norgil, Valdor, Ardini.} Biographical: Jan 1924: Born in New York City, son of Harry Pasternak and Theresa Salomon one sister (Alice Baer); June 1941: Graduated Barnard School for Boys as Valedictorian; Sept 1941: Entered Harvard University [Strauss Freshman House]; 1942: moved to Harvard's Dunster Upper-class House; 1942: Leave of Absence to enlist in U.S. Army Air Corps; 14 May 1942: enlisted, entered Basic Training; 1943: began Aviation Cadet training; 11 Mar 1944: Completed Aviation Cadet training; 12 Mar 1944: Commissioned Pilot/Officer; ??? 1944: Married Helen _____; Mar-June (?) 1944- Special Training; July (?) 1944: Special Duties -- Pilot-Instructor for Free French pilots; 28 Sept 1945: Appointed Reserve Officer; 7 Oct 1945 Separated from Service; 15 (?)
