  Hi Gary,

  Yes, "Too Friendly, Too Dead" was the first novella I did for Leo Margulies and MSMM. Dave bought it from me, changed the title and rewrote it as a novel. He did that with at least two other of my novellas for MSMM, and I later wrote what I think was his final novel for him. Again he rewrote it. His rewrites were never much, just put more in his style, because his novels were pretty short.

  All in all I wrote some 88 of the novellas.

  Best,

  Dennis
