a second rate writer
based in the USA whose main claim to fame is writing the TV episode "The Trouble with Tribbles" for the popular STAR TREK television show. Recently he can be seen selling overpriced stuffed "tribbles" at various science fiction conventions he attends. They usually go for $20 each. He also has a website in which he asks readers to donate money for various personal requests (in the summer of 2006 it was to give his
dog an operation the
dog needed).
He has written some novels and
short stories such as the adaptation of the planet of the apes movies into paperback format. I have met him and found him to be
rude and arrogant to anyone who
1) also wants to be a writer
2) has anything
good to say about Stephen King
(
PS to Mr Gerrold: Stephen King is a DAMN
good writer, instead of being so jealous of his literary genius realize that Mr. King worked his #$@#%$5 off to become that way. Why dont YOU do some of that instead of selling us those cheap overstuffed ear muffs you call tribbles at conventions?")
