Gordon Eklund (born July 24, 1945, Seattle, Washington) is a Nebula Award-winning, American science fiction author whose works include the "Lord Tedric" series and two of the earliest original novels based on the 1960s Star Trek TV series. He has written under the pen name Wendell Stewart, and in one instance under the name of the late E E (doc) Smith (1890?-1965?).
Eklund's first published SF short story, "Dear Aunt Annie?", ran in the April 1970? issue of Fantastic? magazine and was nominated for a Nebula Award. Eklund won the Nebula for Best Novelette for his 1974? short story "If the Stars Are Gods?", co-written with Gregory Benford?. The two expanded the story into a full-length novel of the same title - If the Stars Are Gods?, published in 1977?.
Eklund's Star Trek? novel The Starless World? was the first Star Trek story about a Dyson sphere.
In his teens, Eklund was a member of a Seattle SF fan club, The Nameless Ones, and in 1977, Eklund was a guest of honor at the 1977 SF convention Bubonicon 9, in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The Cushing Memorial Library of Texas A&M University has a "Gordon Eklund Collection" housing the typed manuscript of the story "The Stuff of Time". As of 2006, Eklund works as a realtor in Pierce County, Washington.
