I found this obit at Variety.com:

By VARIETY STAFF
Francine Carroll, creator of the television series "Amy
Prentiss," which won an Emmy for its star Jessica Walter,
died of natural causes Nov. 9 in Tarzana, Calif. She was
83.
Born Francine Epstein in New York, she took the name Francine
Carroll when she was writing detective fiction for Black Mask
and other magazines.
She was nominated for a Writer's Guild award, a Movieguide
award and a Humanitas prize for her work on the Showtime
series "Rescuers: Stories of Courage." Her writing credits
include multiple episodes of "The Virginian" and
"Ironside."
After having attended the U. of Arizona as a young woman, she
graduated from UCLA theater arts program at age 48 and
subsequently taught Film as Literature at Cal State
Northridge.
A longtime member of the Writers Guild of America West, her
writing career spanned 50 years.
She is survived by her husband of 52 years, producer Cy
Chermak; three daughters; five grandchildren and five
great-grandchildren.
******* Notice the "Black Mask and other magazines" part. Can
anybody confirm her pulp writing career? I could not find my
copy of The Black Mask Index.
Thank you in advance, Jiro Kimura
