Ray Bradbury (1921-2012)
Ray Bradbury died Tuesday night in Los Angeles at the age of 91.
Part of being an Indie Writer is learning the craft of
writing and one way we can do that is by reading the great authors who have
come before us. Ray Bradbury was one of
those authors. He was a legendary
science fiction author with such titles as “The Martian Chronicles” and “Fahrenheit
451.”
With my recent posts about Colonizing Mars who better to
dedicate my Blog Post today to than the author of “The Martian Chronicles.” The Martian Chronicles was a story about man’s
attempt to colonize Mars after a massive nuclear war on Earth.
Several of Bradbury’s works became movies and even more
became television shows. Some adaptations of
Bradbury’s tales appeared on episodes of “Alfred Hitchcock Presents”, “The
Twilight Zone”, and even his own cable series, “Ray Bradbury Theater.”
He was an award winning author who began his career in
1938. He became a full time author in
1943 and published “The Martian Chronicles” in 1950, and “Fahrenheit 451” in
1953.
I feel it is partly up to current authors to pay homage
where due to the greats who paved the way for us by writing the foundation
works in their particular genres.
Science Fiction wouldn’t be what it is today without the tremendous
contributions of this talented author.
