Just filling in the last letter of my series on Male Science Fiction Authors, I was rather remiss and I’m making amends. I found this book at a market last week and realised I didn’t need to search for another author. It was at the St Kilda Twilight Market next to Luna Park, the vendor has lots of books and records as well as the most beautiful clock but I didn’t buy it.

William Kotzwinkle is known for his novelisations of both the ET and Superman III movies as well as some children’s novels about a dog called Walter. If you go to his website you can read an article about how the idea for his novel The Bear Went Over the Mountain came to mind, it’s beautifully written and I can understand the plaudits on his About Kotzwinkle page, although I’d like more ‘about’ and less ‘plaudits’ but you do get the idea.

If you order today you’re likely to have delivery by Christmas and most young kids will love the Walter books so here’s a link to one of them and another to E.T. the Extra-terrestrial Book and CD-ROM Pack, if you’re wanting Superman III you’ll be lucky as I suspect it’s out of print.
