Everybody’s talking about the new movie Watchmen. Meanwhile I’m thinking and writing about a real watchman, a night watchman, who wrote Science Fiction and Mystery. That’s right, I’ve just added a new AUTHOR PAGE for H. Beam Piper.
In the 1950s, H. Beam Piper worked as a night watchman, which allowed him to spend his days writing fiction and collecting weapons. Which is very interesting, because that’s how I’d have spent my days if I’d lived in the 1950s too.
Check out our new H. BEAM PIPER page, and this nifty |PDF| of a vintage article about the man.

Holy cow, that’s what Piper looked like!? He looks like a swaggering space viking.
