<<I know, for instance, that Sandra Scoppettone wrote
at least three
novels as Jack Early: A Creative Kind of Killer, Razzamatazz
and Donato
and Daughter. I think they have since been republished under
her own
name. I read them some time ago, when they first came out,
but I
remember them as pretty good and pretty
hardboiled.>>
Excellent books, as all of hers. From an interview some years
ago, I
recall Sandra saying that the main reason why she wrote under
the Jack
Early byline had to do with Fanelli's being a male voice. As
far as I
recall, she didn't mention fear that the books would be
rejected because
she is a woman.
Besides, these days and for quite a while back, being a woman
in the
mystery field is not something to be hidden - if anything,
it's an
asset.
