Quoting not Nadine, I forgot,

He wrote a lot of political thrillers and I had read that he wrote about espionage and a lot of government stuff with information about other countries and there were a lot of what people call Conspiracy theories about his death and it being an 'undisclosed illness' .... heres a link I just quickly located but there are tons of stuff on the internet about it, its very interesting. creepy stuff.

Under your bed
Tom Clancey had a lot of co-authors before he passed away ... Benchley was the same ...

James Patterson doesn't write without co-authors now ... it's a pattern ...

I just saw one of Benchley's co-authored novels in a store very recently, it was 'packaged' as though it had just been released ... so I was fooled ...

Harold Robbins had a few books come out after his death, supposedly based on notes and outlines he left behind. I think his widow did the writing. Ain't read any, as I'm against this sort of thing, but I hear they all sucked.

And weren't there a few 'V.C. Andrews' books released after her death?

I just don't dig it.

Good or bad, true or false, that's a rather poorly written article. The Grammar Nazi that sometimes oppresses me in spirit was having fits ..... (ETA: May have to make that quoted link go bye-bye, eh, DJ?)

oops, I grabbed it too quickly perhaps it was the first one that I saw but I assumed it was as good as any other. It is a conspiracy theory as I had mentioned I wasn't even aware of what blatant detail is in that link until just now.

She is the most prolific dead author that I know of.

Don't worry about it, part of me wants to see it, on the other hand, in taking a quick break from work (where all I do help people write, understand grammatical errors, etc) so I think I'll just skip it.
