Juri,
When you ask if I "wrote" some of Dave's novels, you must
remember that except for the last one, what I wrote was a
30,000 or 20,000 word novellette for MSMM for which I was
paid 11/2 cents a word, which Dave then bought from me for
about $500 and rewrote into a 40,000-odd word novel in his
own style. With that context, yes, I wrote THE CORPSE THAT
NEVER WAS. You can find it in MSMM probably under a different
title.
The other two I did not contribute to, they are both before I
even started writing crime stories for MSMM. In the absence
of proof, I assume Dave wrote these himself. Also, I could be
wrong, but I'm pretty sure Ryerson Johnson was a real person
who collaborated with Dave from time to time.
