Speaking of Queen, I found out a little more about
him/them/it yesterday.
He may have originally been Frederic Dannay and Manfred B.
Lee; but by the sixties, he was also evidently a very
profitable house pseudonym. Among the authors who "were"
Ellery Queen were Talmage Powell, Richard Deming (him
again!), Fletcher Flora, Edward D. Hoch, Gil Brewer, Stephen
Marlowe, Jack Vance, Walter J. Sheldon, Henry Kane and
Charles W. Runyon. Not a bad list. Sounds like the right hand
side of the Table of Contents in an issue of MANHUNTor
something, huh?
And Dave, don't worry about saying dumb things. If I were
sued for every dumb thing I said, I'd be in court all the
time. Just ask anyone here. Thanks for the plug, too.
And hey, I like English teachers-- it's English professors
who often seem to need a swift kick. God bless you, Mrs.
Ticehurst, wherever you are.
