About the author
Born John Hayden Howard in Santa Barbara, California, on December 19, 1925, he wrote under the name Hayden Howard. He was educated at Santa Barbara High School, UCLA, and UC Santa Barbara, and he also worked as an educator as well as a poet and fiction writer.
Howard began publishing science fiction with the story "It" in Planet Stories in 1952 and went on to place many short stories in genre magazines over the next two decades. His only novel, The Eskimo Invasion (1967), brought him his widest recognition and was nominated for the Nebula Award.
He died in Santa Barbara on October 23, 2014. Though not a household name, he remains a distinctive mid-century science fiction voice whose work still attracts readers interested in magazine-era speculative fiction.
