William Campbell Gault
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
William Campbell Gault (1910-1995) was an American writer. He wrote under his own name, and as Roney Scott and Will Duke, among other pseudonyms.
He is probably best remembered for his sports fiction, particularly the young-readers' novels he began publishing in the early 1960s, and for his crime fiction, he had been a wide-ranging contributor to the pulp magazines, particularly to the sports pulps, where he was considered one of the best writers in the field (see onetime Popular Publications editor and noted writer and critic Damon Knight's assessment in his collected reviews, In Search of Wonder). He won the Edgar Award for his first crime fiction novel, Don't Cry for Me (1952).
