Author Gene DeWeese Dies By Ian Randal Strock March 22, 2012

Author Gene DeWeese died 19 March 2012 of Lewy body dementia (a
disease closely related to Alzheimer's and Parkinson's). Born Thomas Eugene
DeWeese on 31 January 1934, in Rochester, Indiana, he also wrote under the
pseudonyms Jean DeWeese, Thomas Stratton, and Victoria Thomas.

DeWeese's first published stories came in fanzines. His first professional publications were two Man from U.N.C.L.E. novels co-authored with Buck Coulson—The Invisibility Affair and The Mind-Twisters Affair—both of which appeared in 1967.

Following those publications, he wrote more than 40 novels, including books in
the Star Trek, Ravenloft, and Dinotopia series, as well as stand-alones and
short fiction in a variety of genres.

Reporting his death, Central Crime Zone says "His best-known young adult novel is The Adventures of a Two-Minute Werewolf, which was made into a television movie of the same name." The film aired as an ABC Weekend Special in 1985.

Steven H Silver reports "his last story may have been 'The World of Null-T,' published in 2010," in the anthology Timeshares.

His Science Fiction Encyclopedia entry and bibliography is available at this link. DeWeese is survived by his wife, the former Beverly Amers, whom he married in 1955.
