Marian O'Hearn

Eric Leif Davin's "Partners in Wonder: Women and the Birth of Science Fiction, 1926-1965" and Victoria Lamont's "Westerns: A Women's History" state that this author's real name was Anita Allen (an "Anita Allen" was credited in some pulp issues where Marian O'Hearn's stories also appeared.) However, according to <a href="http://deliaohara.com/2014/11/12/aunt-marian-a-dame-and-a-writer/">Delia O'Hara's blog</a>, Marian O'Hearn was her aunt's real name. She was born in Massachusetts, worked as a sports editor (as Judy O'Hearn) and wrote for romance, noir, and western pulps. According to <a href="http://efanzines.com/EK/eI45/#unk">Will Murray's article ''The Unknown Unknown''</a>, in February 1941 John W. Campbell Jr. purchased O'Hearn's "No Soul, No Death", a 42,000 word novel, for ''Unknown'', but it wasn't published.
