About the author
Born on November 22, 1918, Walter Kubilius was an American science-fiction writer best known for short fiction. He was part of the influential Futurians, the New York fan and writer group that included several important early SF voices, and he also wrote under the name J. S. Klimaris.
Kubilius began publishing science fiction in 1941. Reference sources credit him with about two dozen stories, including collaborations with Fletcher Pratt, and note that his fiction appeared during the busy pulp-magazine era when short, idea-driven stories were central to the genre.
Around the early 1950s, he appears to have stepped away from fiction and moved into professional editing for nonfiction magazines. He died on September 22, 1993. No suitable confirmed portrait image was found from the sources checked, so none is included here.
