And Jory Sherman's bibliography...

(Someone once talked about how blogs could be sexy... You couldn't get any sexier than this. Steamy stuff, let me tell you!)

After writing a brief post about Jory Sherman it occurred to me that I once received Sherman's bibliography from librarian and pulp/SF fan Denny Lien. I think he got it from the Contemporary Authors database - I hope I'm not doing any copyright infringement posting the bibliography here. It's couple years old, and I believe Mr. Sherman has written some new books in the interim. There are so many books here I got tired pretty soon to try to italicize the books' titles...

(He's not a slow writer - and it's no wonder he's become blind in his old age.)

Edit: I thought I'd look on Abebooks and found quite easily some books the Contemporary Authors bibliographer hasn't noticed:

Incest: The Big Taboo, Venice Publishing Corp, 1966.
Secret World of Incest, Pendulum Books, Atlanta, GA, 1967
I Thee Wed, PEC, San Diego, CA, 1967
The Lips of Eros, Pendulum Books, 1967
The Summer Man, Challenge Books, 1967
The Passion Killer, Triumph Books, CA, 1968

Under the pseudonym Frank Anvic I find these books that are not on the CA list - of course it's possible that Anvic was a house name and Sherman wrote only those that are mentioned above.

His Mother's Arms, Barclay House 1969
Troubleshooter, Brandon House 1973
The Safari Women, Brandon House, n.d.
The Austrian Connection, Brandon House 1974 ("The assignment: Smash the huge international smuggling ring. The agent: Brad Saber. His abilities: Unique. His Achilles' heel: Women!")
Bonnie Does It Better, Beeline 1978

Some of these - at least The Austrian Connection - should be included in Al Hubin's bibliography of crime fiction. Will let him know.
Edit part two: I heard from James Reasoner that Blood Jungle, mentioned in the original Contemporary Authors bibliography, was published under the pseudonym Cort Martin and not under his real name. I'll add this info to the list as well.
Edit part three: I added a new pornographic book I happened to find (Man, Woman and Beast) when I was looking for something else.

Jory wrote one of the Stagecoach Station books as Hank Mitchum. I believe it was FORT YUMA. I didn't see it on the list but I could have missed it. Also, I think Frank Anvic was a personal pseudonym for him and not a house name.

James Reasoner said...

Yes, I see now that I did overlook FORT YUMA on the list. Sorry.

It's perfectly okay, James, I don't think I'd have patience enough to note any particular books in the mix.
