Author Information

Paul de Wreder is the pseudonym of John Winton Heming, an Australian author whose principal work spans the 1930s and 1940s. J.W. Heming is more accurately described as a pulp writer than a science fiction writer. He wrote straight adventure, mysteries and detective tales, even romances, all under a variety of pen names. Igor Spajic has written extensively on classic car subjects for the magazine 'Restored Cars Australia. Igor has also read science fiction all his life, with an increasing interest in the earlier years of the genre. Apart from the pulp magazine era of the 1920s through the 1940s, Igor has discovered a rich vein of works written before even the term 'science fiction' was coined. These appeared in the popular fiction magazines of the early 20th century, and his checklist can be found through this imprint. You can contact Igor at: igorspajic@optusnet.com.au or flashpointgrafx@optusnet.com.au
