author
Best remembered for a single mid-century science fiction story, this elusive writer left behind a small but memorable footprint in magazine SF. "Welcome to Paradise," published in 1954, is the work most closely associated with the name today.

by Allyn Donnelson
Very little verified biographical information appears to be publicly available about this author. The clearest trace is bibliographic: Allyn Donnelson is associated with the science fiction story Welcome to Paradise, which appeared in the September 1954 issue of Imagination Stories of Science and Fantasy.
Modern references also describe Allyn Donnelson as being known primarily for that one published science fiction story. Because reliable personal details such as birth, death, background, and career history were not clearly confirmed from the sources found, it is better to treat the author as a scarce and lightly documented figure in pulp-era magazine fiction.
That scarcity gives the work a certain curiosity value for readers today: a writer who surfaces in the record almost entirely through a single surviving story, and whose reputation rests on one brief visit to the world of classic science fiction magazines.
