Mark added Well, Black Hit Woman was credited to Laurie
Miles, "as told to Leo Guild." May be something to your
inference.
Yes indeed. Leo Guild would appear to have been a Hollywood
hack from the fifties on, author of a couple of non-fic Gold
Medals (as well as being the name of the hero of a series of
Ed Gorman westerns). I would also speculate that the precise
authorship of a lot of other Holloway House books might be
open to question. Donald Goines brought out more novels after
his death than during his life. Most of them were better
written too - and it wouldn't surprise me at all if another
HH staffer like Joe Nazel had written them.
