Ross Rocklynne
Ross Rocklynne (February 21, 1913 - October 29, 1988) was the pen name
used by Ross Louis Rocklin, an American science fiction author active in the
Golden Age of Science Fiction.
Born in 1913 in Ohio, Rocklynne was a regular contriubutor to the science
fiction pulps. He was a professional guest at the first World Science Fiction
Convention in 1939. Despite his numerous appearances and solid writing,
Rocklynne never quite achieved the fame of his contemporaries
Robert A
Heinlein,
L Sprague de Camp, and
Isaac Asimov.
Rocklynne partially retired from writing in the late 1950s, but made a notable
return in the 1970s when his novelette "Ching Witch!" was included in Harlan
Ellison's original anthology, Again, Dangerous Visions (1972). "Ching Witch!"
was later nominated for a Nebula award.
Rocklynne died in Los Angeles, California at the age of 75.
