He exists, he is a he.  He was a guest of honor at Minicon last year.

In addition to Mallworld, I've seen several other paperbacks recently.
He also has released a vampire novel, marketed as mainstream or horror
or something, under the pseudonym S. P. Somtow (publisher thought the
horror market couldn't deal with his real name; at least, that's his
story).

You may notice how evasive I'm being about exact titles.  I'm at work,
they are at home.

He will be "sucker guest of honor" (sometimes rendered as "sucker-it-kol
guest of honor" at this year's Minicon.  This is a longer story than
it sounds like....
