Note: Library of Congress (LC) reports this birthdate as known for the author of The Headless Ghost, 1986. As of 2018-07-29, LC ("Browse LC Online Catalog") credits to one person 5 short story collections (1984 to 1987, plausible spec-fic titles) and a greater number of books on basketball and sports coaching (1976 to 1997). WorldCat certainly conflates the work of this writer, or these two, with that of other William E. Warrens.
