About the author
Howard Browne was an American writer, editor, and screenwriter born in Omaha, Nebraska, on April 15, 1908. Over a long career, he worked in several corners of popular storytelling, including pulp magazines, detective fiction, fantasy, and television.
He is especially remembered for mystery novels, some published under the name John Evans, as well as for his work as an editor on science-fiction magazines. That mix of sharp plotting and wide-ranging genre experience gave his fiction an easy confidence that still feels fresh.
Later, Browne also wrote for film and television, adding another chapter to an already varied career. He died on October 28, 1999, leaving behind work that connects the worlds of classic pulp adventure, crime writing, and screen storytelling.
