About the author
Roger Kuykendall is a science-fiction author best known for stories published in 1959, including We Didn't Do Anything Wrong, Hardly and All Day September. His work appeared during the classic magazine era of speculative fiction, and later readers have continued to find those stories through reprints, online archives, and audiobook editions.
Although detailed biographical information about him is hard to confirm from reliable public sources, his fiction has remained visible through catalogs such as Project Gutenberg, LibriVox, and science-fiction bibliographies. That lasting presence suggests a writer with a small but memorable place in mid-century SF, especially for readers who enjoy clever ideas, youthful adventure, and a light touch.
We Didn't Do Anything Wrong, Hardly is especially well remembered for its energetic, humorous tone and its focus on inventive children getting in over their heads in the best possible way. Even with only a modest surviving bibliography, Roger Kuykendall's stories still speak to readers who love vintage science fiction with heart and curiosity.
