Robert W. Krepps

Born in Pittsburgh in 1919, Robert W. Krepps was an American writer whose full name was Robert Wilson Krepps. Reference sources agree that he died in Florida in 1980, and they describe a career that ranged across several popular genres.

Krepps wrote science fiction, westerns, and historical novels, and he also produced novelizations of films. Science-fiction readers often know him through the pseudonym Geoff St. Reynard, the name under which much of his genre work appeared. That mix of subjects helps explain why his bibliography feels so wide-ranging: he was the kind of mid-century professional author who could turn from frontier action to speculative adventure without missing a beat.

His books remain easy to stumble across in reprints, library catalogs, and public-domain collections, which speaks to the steady appeal of his storytelling. If you like brisk plots, classic paperback energy, and an author comfortable in more than one fictional world, his work is well worth exploring.
