About the author
Leigh Tucker Richmond (April 21, 1911 – July 14, 1995), also known as Leigh Richmond-Donahue, was an American writer best known for science fiction. She began publishing fiction in the early 1960s, and reference sources consistently note that she worked often with her husband, Walt Richmond.
Her fiction career is especially associated with collaborative novels, including several science fiction books written with Walt Richmond. After his death, she revised and saw additional work through publication, which helped preserve the partnership that defined much of her writing life.
Although she is not among the most widely remembered genre authors today, bibliographic and encyclopedia sources still single her out as a thoughtful contributor to science fiction of her period. The record available online is fairly brief, but it clearly places her among the American women writers who helped shape magazine and novel science fiction in the mid-20th century.
