About the author
Richard Olin was an American science fiction writer associated with magazine science fiction of the 1960s and 1970s. Confirmed online records connect his name with stories published in Analog Science Fiction/Science Fact and The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction, and his best-known title, All Day Wednesday, remains available through Project Gutenberg.
The available public information on him is quite limited, which gives his career a slightly mysterious feel. What can be confirmed is that he published a small body of speculative fiction that continued to circulate through anthologies, library catalogs, and reader communities long after its original magazine appearances.
Because reliable biographical details are scarce, it is safest to remember him through the work itself: compact, idea-driven science fiction from the classic magazine era, written for readers who enjoy thoughtful premises and old-school storytelling.
