His occasional stories over the next decades showed that, had he wished, he could have made writing his primary career. In his critical study The Creation of Tomorrow: Fifty Years of Magazine Science Fiction (coll 1977) he demonstrated an intimate and sophisticated knowledge of the field. With Gregory Benford he published a short novel, Iceborn (in Synergy 3, anth 1989, ed George Zebrowski, as "Proserpina's Daughter" by Benford alone; exp 1989 chap dos). [JC]
