About the author
Born in New York City in 1901, John Murray Reynolds graduated from Princeton in 1922 with a degree in geology. Outside fiction, he built a long career in shipping and also served in the U.S. Naval Reserve, giving him a life that stretched well beyond the pulp magazines where many readers discovered his work.
Reynolds wrote widely across genres, including historical novels, adventure stories, detective fiction, and science fiction. He appeared in magazines such as Weird Tales and Planet Stories, and he is especially remembered today for imaginative tales like The Golden Amazons of Venus and Goddess of the Moon.
He died in Deerfield Beach, Florida, in 1993. Though he is not as famous now as some of his contemporaries, his work still has appeal for readers who enjoy brisk, colorful stories from the classic pulp era.
