Harold Torger Vedeler has written an eclectic mix of science fiction and fantasy, ranging from "Valley of Bones" (Not One of Us #34, co-written with the prophet Ezekiel) and Ilium" (Not One of Us Special Midrash"), which received an Honorable Mention in Year's Best Fantasy and Horror. His short novel Intersect: A Love Story (iUniverse, 2003) elicited the following from SFSite: "Intelligent and thoughtful, this look at the expectations of fame challenges us, showing us that as technology grows, the nature of fame, the nature of entertainment, could have even more dreadful implications than we'd considered."

Vedeler's most widely-read work, however, is his parody, written under a pseudonym to protect his legitimate career as a professional purveyor of mischief, of John Norman's infamous Gor novels: Gay, Bejeweled Nazi Bikers of Gor, which he insists on making available for free for adults only on the internet (at http://books.adultfanfiction.net/story.php?no=544176437), thereby probably denying himself a small fortune in royalties from the National Organization of Women and others of Norman's many fans.

In his other life, Vedeler has a PhD in Assyriology from Yale University and teaches Ancient History at a variety of universities in Connecticut.
