About the author
Dorothy De Courcy was an American science fiction writer active in the late 1940s and early 1950s. The clearest information available online points to her as part of a writing partnership with John de Courcy, and their stories appeared during the classic pulp-magazine era.
Several of their works remain easy to find today, including Goma's Follicles and The Night Has a Thousand Eyes, both available through Project Gutenberg. Listings and fan-reference sources also connect her with other Venus-centered fiction, suggesting a small but memorable place in mid-century popular science fiction.
Reliable biographical detail about her personal life is scarce, so it is safest to remember her through the stories themselves: brisk, imaginative adventures shaped by the magazine science fiction world of her time.
