Al says, "He changed his name to Evan Hunter."
He sure did. Somewhere around here I have a letter from him
about that. One of the characters in my Sheriff Rhodes series
is a big Ed McBain fan, so I wrote something in one of the
books about McBain's various names. Someone told him about
it, and he read the book, after which he wrote me a very nice
letter in which he explained that he had made the change
legal. He doesn't like to be reminded of his birth name, as I
think Richard Moore can attest. I believe Richard asked him
about it at the Omaha Bouchercon.
