Description

Last week we heard from two authors who produced few works and we were unable to discover anything about them. However we know more about the author we’ll feature on the lost sci-fi podcast today. He was born in 1915 in Spooner, Wisconsin, just 6 years after the tiny town became a city. He wrote a story in 1940 and one in 1941 and then nothing for 12 years. In 1953 he produced 4 short stories, then 23 more in 1954 and 19 in 1955 when the story we’ll share with you was written. He was published throughout the 1950’s, then stopped once again for 8 years with one short story in 1967 and one in 1968. In my past I was a television news reporter and I would love to have interviewed this man, but he passed away in 1979.Today’s episode of the lost sci-fi podcast features author Winston Marks. He was also known as Win Kinney, Winston March, Win Marks, Winston K. Marks and Ken Winney.It may seem strange but I was attracted to narrate this story by its rather unique title. An interstellar hunting trip with Major Daphne could teach a man a number of lessons. Like being kind to fellow human beings, or—Never Gut-shoot A Wampus.
