Dennis Lynds wrote Shayne novellas for MIKE SHAYNE MYSTERY
MAGAZINE, two or three of which he expanded into full-length
Shayne novels. I don't believe Gayle ever had any connection
with the character. At least two other authors ghosted Shayne
novels: Ryerson Johnson and Robert Terrall. Others probably
did, too. And numerous people wrote Shayne stories for the
magazine as well.
