L. Major Reynolds was the pen name of Louise Leipiar, a science-fiction writer whose work appeared in magazines and fan publications connected with classic SF fandom.
Sources available during this search agree that she was active in the Los Angeles Science Fantasy Society, and bibliographic records link the Reynolds name directly to Leipiar. Some fan-history sources identify her as Louise Margurite Leipiar and give her dates as December 10, 1898 – May 29, 1969.
Because solid mainstream biographical coverage is limited, many personal details are hard to confirm. What does come through clearly is her place in the world of early and mid-20th-century science fiction: she wrote short fiction, moved in fan circles, and left behind work that still circulates through archives and public-domain collections.
