Steffanson, Con
Entry updated 2 June 2026. Tagged: Author, House name.
Pseudonym used by Ron Goulart for the first three titles in the Avon Books sequence of Ties to the Flash Gordon franchise. After Goulart dropped out the same byline was erroneously used for the fourth book, written by Bruce Cassiday. Technically this makes Steffanson a House Name of Avon Books, but Goulart himself considered the extended use of his byline to have been accidental (1 October 2007 Mystery*File web). The two further series titles [not listed below] appeared as by Cassiday's own pseudonym Carson Bingham. [DRL]
