Timeline
Hensley''' (March 19, 1926 – August 27, 2007) was a lawyer, prosecuting attorney, member of the Indiana General Assembly, circuit court judge, science fiction fan, and writer of science fiction and mysteries.
He was a long-time resident of Madison, Indiana, and died there of complications of leukemia.
Hensley was born in Bloomington, Indiana, and became involved in science fiction fandom by the time he was 13.
Hensley was a First Fandom "Dinosaur" (which meant he had been active in fandom prior to July 4, 1939), and received the First Fandom Hall of Fame Award in 2006.
Many of his papers dealing both with his career as a judge and attorney, and his activities as a writer and science fiction fan, are in the collection of the Lilly Library of Indiana University.
He graduated from Bloomington's University High School in 1944, went into the United States Navy, serving as a Pharmacist's Mate in the Navy Hospital Corps.
He received a B.A. degree in 1950 from Indiana University, and on June 18, 1950, married Charlotte Ruth Bettinger in her home town of Tell City, Indiana; she died in 2000.
He was again inducted into the Navy during the Korean War, serving as a Journalist 3rd Class.
His first fiction sale was the short story "And Not Quite Human," published in the September 1953 issue of Beyond Fantasy Fiction.
He received his L.L.B. degree from Indiana University School of Law in 1955, and moved to Madison to begin his legal practice.
His first published novel was The Color of Hate in 1960.
He served one term in the Indiana General Assembly in 1961-1962, representing Jefferson and Scott counties.
He was then elected prosecuting attorney for the Fifth Judicial Circuit, serving from 1963 to 1966.
He had 20 more novels and collections published (over half of them in the series featuring Indiana circuit judge Donald Robak, which began with 1971's Deliver Us to Evil) and around 100 short stories.
His collaborators in science fiction included Alexei Panshin and Harlan Ellison; he co-wrote one mystery novel (Loose Coins) with fellow Indiana prosecuting attorney Guy M. Townsend.
In 1975, he was appointed Judge pro tem of the Ripley Circuit Court by the Indiana Supreme Court and was subsequently elected and served two terms as Judge of the Fifth Judicial Circuit from 1977 through 1988.
He served two years as president of the Indiana Judges Association.
In 1998, he was named a Sagamore of the Wabash by then Indiana Governor Frank O'Bannon.
While working as a law student, lawyer, legislator and judge, Hensley wrote science fiction and crime fiction (and at least one auto-racing story for a pulp magazine) as Joe L. Hensley and Louis J. A. Adams.
His last novel, Snowbird's Blood, was published in February 2008.
Many of his mystery novels were set in the fictitious Bington, a place which combined aspects of Madison and Bloomington.
Hensley remained active in science fiction fandom throughout his life; the Hensleys were familiar faces at science fiction conventions such as Rivercon and Midwestcon.
