Pseudonym of Geoffrey A. Landis

From <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leading_Edge_(magazine)">Wikipedia</a>: <ul> <li>In 2000, <i>Leading Edge</i> found itself the center of a plagiarism controversy when a story it published turned out to have been plagiarized by a prison inmate submitting it as his own work. Geoffrey A. Landis' 1994 novella "The Singular Habits of Wasps", originally published in the April 1994 issue of <i>Analog</i>, was submitted by Phillip S. Barcia, purchased by <i>Leading Edge</i>, and published in issue 39. A correction notice was published in issue 40 indicating the actual author of the story. (Geoffrey A.
