About the author
Born in Tracy, California, on July 10, 1920, Edward W. Ludwig was an American editor and author. Reliable reference sources identify him as Edward William Ludwig and note that he died in May 1990.
Ludwig wrote science fiction, fantasy, and nonfiction, especially history and biography. Reference listings connect him with works such as The Mask of Jon Culon and The 7 Shapes of Solomon Bean and 14 Other Marvelous Stories of Science Fiction and Fantasy, and public-domain and audiobook catalogs also credit him with a substantial body of shorter fiction.
He is remembered not only as a writer but also as an active participant in science-fiction fandom and small-press publishing, particularly in California. That mix of editor, enthusiast, and storyteller gives his work the feel of someone who loved both the genre itself and the community around it.
