About the author
Tom Pace was an American science-fiction writer whose work appeared in the pulp magazine Planet Stories during the 1940s. Confirmed stories include Death Star, published in the Spring 1945 issue, and Example, published in the Winter 1946 issue.
He seems to have been a very obscure figure, and the readily available sources found here focus much more on the stories than on his life. One listing for Planet Stories also notes that letters from Tom Pace appeared in the magazine, suggesting he was part of the pulp-SF reader-and-writer world as well as a contributor.
Because reliable biographical material is scarce in the sources reviewed, it is hard to say much more with confidence about his personal life or career beyond those published appearances. That rarity is part of what makes him interesting today: he represents the many writers who briefly surfaced in the pulp era and left behind just a small, intriguing trail.
