Jack Wodhams (1931–2017) was an English-born science fiction writer who lived in Australia from 1955 until his death. He also wrote as Trudy Rose and Caroline Edwards. Wodhams was born on 3 September 1931, in Dagenham (London) and died on 3 August 2017.[1]

He was first published in Analog Science Fiction and Fact in 1967 with the story There Is a Crooked Man. He was largely known for the kind of "problem oriented" stories that Analog itself is known for. These stories have been called "generally clever and often ingenious"[2] and good on military matters,[3] but occasionally criticised as facetious. From 1970 to 1982, he was nominated for the Ditmar Award several times.
