Rosel George Brown
Rosel George Brown attracted attention during her unfortunately brief writing career with an impressive number of short stories in all the leading science fiction magazine which combined science fiction and irresistible humor, ranging from the dryly witty to raucous slapstick. She was nominated for a Hugo Award in 1959, and her first novel, Sibyl Sue Blue, was widely and favorably reviewed, but her writing career came to an untimely end in 1967 when she died of cancer at the age of 41.
