Shaun Usher was born in the East End of London and lived in Somerset for many years before settling with his wife in Surrey. As a journalist, he has been a crime reporter, drama critic, and a book reviewer for the Daily Mail. Usher has published fiction in a wide variety of magazines including the London Mystery Magazine, Parade, Argosy, Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine, Alfred Hitchcock's Mystery Magazine, Tit-Bits, Reveille, and the Evening News.[1] In the London Mystery Magazine, he published under both his own name and his pseudonym of Jeffry Scott, sometimes under both names in the same issue. In addition to the stories we have listed for him, his writing includes other speculative-fiction output, such as Statement of Major X, a futuristic piece about the death of an astronaut. [2]
