Ronald Carson Gold is best known as a short story writer whose work is largely forgotten today. As well as Devil Doone, he wrote detective and western stories. He was later an elected executive member of the Queensland Authors and Artists Association, and coordinated its annual short story competition. After his death, this competition continued as the annual R Carson Gold Short Story Competition. I'm uncertain if this still exists, but the trust fund established to pay the prize money was still active in 2019.
