About Me

Tom Wode Bellman is the author of Through Love, Darkly (novella 1952, novel 1961) and Over the Edge (1950) as well as many works of short fiction which appeared in various science-fiction magazines and fanzines. He continued to write fiction through the 1980s until the solar system drifted into a cloud of vibrating particles of imperceptible nothingness which forever took away his desire to pound the keys. He has, however, taken the time to write a foreword to a new collection by science-fiction author Philip José Farmer. The book is called Venus on the Half-Shell and Others and it may be ordered HERE .
