Hi, and welcome to The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast featuring at least one lost sci-fi short story from the 1940s, 50s and 60s, in every episode. I’m your host Scott Miller, audiobook narrator and lover of science fiction.

Last week we heard from two authors who produced few works and we were unable to discover anything about them. However we know more about the author we’ll feature on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast today. He was born in 1915 in Spooner, Wisconsin, just 6 years after the tiny town became a city.

He wrote a story in 1940 and one in 1941 and then nothing for 12 years. In 1953 he produced 4 short stories, then 23 more in 1954 and 19 in 1955 when the story we’ll share with you was written. He was published throughout the 1950’s, then stopped once again for 8 years with one short story in 1967 and one in 1968. In my past I was a television news reporter and I would love to have interviewed this man, but he passed away in 1979.

Today’s episode of The Lost Sci-Fi podcast features author Winston Marks. He was also known as Win Kinney, Winston March, Win Marks, Winston K. Marks and Ken Winney.

Marks has become a favorite of mine and you’ll hear from him many times in the future including, but not limited to, So They Baked A Cake, The Water Eater, Slay-Ride, The Mind Digger, Breeder Reaction, Until Life Do Us Part and many more.
