Herbert D. Kastle

Born in Brooklyn on July 11, 1924, Herbert David Kastle wrote under both Herbert D. Kastle and Herbert Kastle. Reliable reference sources identify him as an American novelist whose work ranged across genres, including suspense, crime, and science fiction.

His science-fiction work included The Reassembled Man, first published in 1964 and later expanded and retitled. He also published a long list of popular novels such as The Movie Maker, Millionaires, Cross Country, and Sunset People, showing a taste for commercial, plot-driven storytelling.

Kastle's work reached the screen as well: Cross Country was adapted for film, and IMDb credits him as a writer on an episode of Bonanza. He died in Los Angeles, California, on October 19, 1987.
