About the author

Very little biographical information about this author is easy to confirm online. What can be verified is that Jack G. Huekels is credited as the author of Advanced Chemistry, a short science-fiction story that has been preserved by Project Gutenberg, LibriVox, and Wikisource.

The story has also been noted in science-fiction listings as having appeared in Amazing Stories in March 1927. That places Huekels among the many early genre writers whose work appeared in pulp magazines and later slipped into obscurity.

Because so few solid personal details are available from reliable public sources, the author is best known today through the surviving text itself rather than through a well-documented life story.
