Frank Herbert (1920-1986) was born in Tacoma, Washington. He worked as a reporter and later editor for several West Coast newspapers before becoming a full-time writer. His first science fiction story was published in 1952, but he achieved fame over ten years later with the publication of Dune World and The Prophet of Dune in Analog, which were later amalgamated into the novel Dune in 1965.
