About the author
Evelyn E. Smith was an American writer born in New York City on July 25, 1922, and she died there on July 4, 2000. She wrote science fiction and mysteries, and reliable reference sources also describe her as a compiler of crossword puzzles.
During the 1950s, she published short stories and novelettes in magazines including Galaxy Science Fiction and Fantastic Universe. Reference sources on speculative fiction note that she also wrote under other names, including Delphine C. Lyons, and that later collections helped keep her shorter work in print.
She is often remembered for the wit and satirical edge of her science fiction. Alongside that magazine work, she also wrote mystery fiction, showing a range that makes her an appealing discovery for readers who enjoy smart ideas with a light but pointed touch.
