Audrey L. Bilker (1933-2000), was a researcher and editor of the Random House Dictionary of the English Language (1966) and coauthor of Writing Science Fiction that Sells and Writing Mysteries that Sell, as well as many short stories like Apartment Hunting and The Extras Are Extra.

“The best story is by Harvey and Audrey Bilker; it’s a biting prediction of what too many people and too few apartments will eventually mean.”—Library Journal

“The Extras Are Extra,” a short story by Harvey & Audrey Bilker, adapted for the motion-picture screen.—Winner of the Houston International Film Festival (Sixteenth Annual Festival of the Americas) Bronze Award in Short-Subject.

“The clarity of the discussion throughout is admirable...the Bilkers have admirably packed a lot of information into a small compass for the beginner in the field...a first step for the fledgling writer...Libraries and individuals not owning (the s.f. books on writing by Ben Bova and L. Sprague deCamp)...may wish to begin with Bilker.”—Science Fiction & Fantasy Book Review

“Adults (with a special interest in mystery writing) should turn to Harvey and Audrey Bilker’s new book, ‘Writing Mysteries That Sell.’”—Ellery Queen’s Mystery Magazine

It’s the early 1970’s in the heart of New York City, a seemingly ordinary young man stumbles upon a restaurant offering an all-you-can-eat buffet for $4.95. Driven by an insatiable hunger, he embarks on a culinary journey that will leave the restaurant staff and patrons astounded. As plates of lobster, meatballs, shrimp, and countless other dishes are devoured at an alarming rate, the restaurant owner grows increasingly concerned. But the young man's appetite knows no bounds, and the owner's attempts to intervene only lead to further complications.
