From Sisters of Tomorrow: The First Women of Science Fiction: "Dorothy Louise Les Tina worked in SF magazines as an author and artist in the 1940s and 1950s. Les Tina worked as an assistant at Popular Publications in the early 1940s, where she met Frederik Pohl and other authors and editors associated with the Futurian fan group. During that period, she produced several pieces of artwork for Futurian Robert A. W. Lowndes's genre publications. After a decade of military service, she returned briefly to SF, contributing interior art to several issues of Hugo Gernsback's Science Fiction Plus in the 1950s before moving on to other, non-genre writing projects."

Pseudonym attributions for the short story are based upon Locus/Contento and the a.k.a. website. The artistic collaborations with Paul are based upon Robinson's '''Who's Hugh''' who gets his information from Tuck (Robinson places a question mark by his entry indicating that the attribution may be tenuous).
