(born July 10, 1931)
Julian May is an American science fiction fan and writer. She grew up in Chicago and a fan in her late teens, publishing the fanzine Interim Newsletter for a time. In 1950 she sold "Dune Roller" to Campbell. She met her future husband, Ted Dikty, later that year at a convention in Ohio. She chaired the Tenth World Science Fiction Convention Tasfic in Chicago in 1952, and married Dikty in 1953. Shortly after that, she dropped out of sf.
Between 1954 and the early 70s she wrote and edited hundreds of children's and YA books as well as books on science, history, biography and religion. In 1976, she attended Westercon 29 in Los Angeles, her first science-fiction convention in many years, which led her back into SF writing, resulting in the very successful Galactic Milieu series.
