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
