It was in Brownwood that he first met friends his own age who shared his interest not only for sports and history but also writing and poetry. The two most important of these Tevis Clyde Smith and Truett Vinson shared his Bohemian and literary outlook on life and together they wrote amateur papers and magazines exchanged long letters filled with poetry and existential thoughts on life and philosophy and encouraged each other's writing endeavors. Through Vinson Howard was introduced to The Tattler the newspaper of the Brownwood High School. It was in this publication that Howard's stories were first printed. The December 1922 issue featured two stories "'Golden Hope Christmas" and "West is West" which won gold and silver prizes respectively." . Gnome Press, Inc. hardcover

During the same period Howard made his first attempt to write a novel a loosely autobiographical book modeled on Jack London's Martin Eden and titled Post Oaks & Sand Roughs. The book was otherwise of middling quality and was never published in the author's lifetime but it is of interest to Howard scholars for the personal information it contains.

He had grown frustrated that his TV pilots and screenplays were not getting made and that TV-related production limitations like budgets and episode lengths were forcing him to cut characters and trim battle scenes. This pushed Martin back towards writing books where he did not have to worry about compromising the size of his imagination. Admiring the works of J. R. R. Tolkien in his childhood he wanted to write an epic fantasy though he did not have any specific ideas. This would eventually turn into his epic fantasy series: A Song of Ice and Fire which was inspired by the Wars of the Roses The Accursed Kings and Ivanhoe. Martin originally conceptualised it as being three volumes. It is currently intended to comprise seven volumes. The first A Game of Thrones was published in 1996." .

"It's happening here in the last third of the 20th century although the militants have been phased out and Blacks seem to have reverted to ""coloreds"" and ""coons." " The journal is that of a well-intentioned but ordinary young man who works for California's ineffectual Commission where presumably racial grievances against housing jobs etc. Malpractices will be taken care of. Here there everywhere escalating disturbances are touched off -- bombing of property arson ambushes and takeovers which spread like brushfires from city to city ending with a more terrible vista cf. The title's ""As if a man did flee from/ a lion and a bear met him. . ." " The Book of Amos. This has none of the commercially catered scaresell of Edwin Corley's Siege 1969 ; Mr. Zimpel's low-keyed narrator is almost like a teleprompter while news items flash on and off the screen with a nervous stutter. It contributes to the live and frightening insistence of the events which are taking place uncontrollably before your eyes." This is a novel of dystopian near future. . MacMillan Company hardcover

"Detailing the travails of Jame Retief in the Corps Diplomatique Terrestrienne CDT the stories have a base in Laumer's experiences in the United States Foreign Service notably his time as vice consul in Burma in the 1950s. Reorganisations in the Foreign Service both before and after World War II were a source of considerable conflict at the time as the diplomatic "old guard" were confronted with a new world situation and a new generation of diplomats men like Laumer who took a more pragmatic approach to the service. This conflict undoubtedly informs the Retief stories in which stubborn and often ignorant superiors mired in bureaucracy cause him endless difficulties in the carrying out of his duties." .

"Gieske�s book is not a literary gem. It features purple prose stilted character development and a number of highly improbable events. And yet it provides an insight into how utopias have come into common discussion and also what sort of issues might have constituted an ideal world at the dawn of World War II. At the outset of the book the world�s moguls come together to transform Bermuda into Utopia. There the great scientists of the world unfettered by outside influences work to rid the world of its problems. One significant early invention is a gigantic road-paving machine destined to elevate China out of poverty. The protagonist of the story is David Haldane a decent but underappreciated telephone lineman. He dreams of joining the ranks of Utopians and perfecting his pet project a much improved television." .

In order to live out her fantasy of a medieval Lady and her court Dela has named the androids after characters in Tennyson's great epic of King Arthur and the Round Table The Idylls of the King." "Her breakthrough came in 1975 when Donald A. Wollheim purchased both manuscripts she had submitted to DAW Books Gate of Ivrel and Brothers of Earth. Cherryh stated in an interview on Amazing Stories "It was the first time a book really found an ending and really worked because I had made contact with Don Wollheim at DAW found him interested and was able to write for a specific editor whose body of work and type of story I knew. It was a good match. It was a set of characters I�d invented when I was oh about thirteen. So it was an old favorite of my untold stories and ended up being the first in print." The two novels were published in 1976 Gate of Ivrel preceding Brothers of Earth by several months although she had completed and submitted Brothers of Earth first. The books won her immediate recognition and the John W. Campbell Award for Best New Writer in 1977." . Daw Books hardcover

"Retief is indeed back for the first time in over ten years at novel length. Jame Retief of the Corps Diplomatique Terrestrienne is on the job again riding roughshod over procedure and pomp and takig care of business." "Keith Laumer is known for the Bolo and Retief stories. Stories from the former chronicle the evolution of super tanks that eventually become self-aware through the constant improvement resulting from centuries of intermittent warfare against various alien races. The latter deals with the adventures of a cynical spacefaring diplomat who constantly has to overcome the red-tape-infused failures of people with names like Ambassador Grossblunder. The Retief stories were greatly influenced by Laumer's earlier career in the US Foreign Service. In an interview with Paul Walker of Luna Monthly Laumer states "I had no shortage of iniquitous memories of the Foreign Service." In addition to his Bolo and Retief stories Laumer's more serious adventures included the subjects of time travel and alternate-world adventures such as found in his The Other Side Of Time A Trace Of Memory and Dinosaur Beach." .

"John Clute has characterized Dickson as a "gregarious engaging genial successful man of letters" who had not been an introvert. Clute considers Dickson a science fiction romantic. Nevertheless Clute stresses in connection to Dickson that science fiction welcomes "images of heightened solitude romantically vague limitless landscapes and an anguished submission to afflatus" due to its origin in Gothic fiction. Clute points out that Dickson like Poul Anderson with whom he collaborated in the Hoka series " to infuse an austere Nordic pathos into wooded rural midwestern American settings". His works often have mercenaries as their protagonists and deal with aliens that are "less deracinated and more lovable than humans" Clute. They "are inclined to take on a heightened sagalike complexion" Clute particularly through the insertion of lyric poetry that is sometimes rather inferior." . Ace Books hardcover
