"Same complex which makes him sensitive about gray hairs prohibits revelation of exact date. Is that incredible variety of rara avis, a Native New Yorker. Educated New York public schools and New York University, School of Journalism.
Was an early contributor to Wonder Stories, having crashed a quarterly with a short-short far back in the pleistocene age. Published a volume of poems a decade ago which received rather gratifying reviews in London Times, Boston Transcript and New York Tribune. Hopes eventually to live it down. Is spare-framed, and a bit shy, and single."
 (Frank Belknap Long) He grew up in Harlem in NYC. When a ruptured appendix nearly killed him during college, he quit to pursue a writing career. In spite of writing 25 novels, 150 short stories and many articles and scripts, he died a pauper at 92.
