Lynds wrote nearly all of the Mike Shayne stories in the
magazine from 1963-70. I forget what his total was, but it
was more than anyone else who wrote magazine Shaynes. I wrote
38 of them between '78 and '82. A lot of people wrote Shayne
stories for the magazine. Besides Lynds, the ones I remember
off the top of my head: Sam Merwin Jr., Robert Turner, Robert
Arthur, Richard Deming, Michael Avallone, Peter Germano,
Edward Y. Breese, Bill Pronzini & Jeff Wallman, Hal
Charles, Jerry Jacobson, and Michael Taylor.

I've never heard that and somehow I doubt it, but I suppose
it's possible.
