Actually, Wellen wrote at least three crime-fiction novels, as Jerry House and I were discussing the other day on his site...GOLDBRICK was published in the 11/78 F&SF, despite being at best the most borderline of near-future sf (it's essentially a contemporary espionage novel), not f at all (and was presented in microprint so as to pack it into the back of one issue). This was one of my early FFBs.
Wellen was one of the utter masters of the vignette
