A very enjoyable read, quick read.

Most of his SBLs were credited to him as Rex Dolphin, but a couple went out under the house pseudonyms Richard Williams and Desmond Reid. It is a shame that the little info there is about him on the net is scattered about in different places. I have wondered about putting together a blog post of my own to bring it all together in one place. Maybe one day !

It is a Sexton Blake mystery story, so seems he also contributed by writing Sexton Blake detective stories. The book really takes me to the 60's ...<br /><br />ArthurArthurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06912864327776009609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3852401976091776228.post-86111383600919552322021-10-15T18:11:49.817-04:002021-10-15T18:11:49.817-04:00Hi, Unknown,

Reggie gave me a signed copy of The Vampires of Finistere as well as another book that he wrote under a female name. Unfortunately it has gone astray but I believe he used several different names. Reggie was a very nice man and I'm sorry that I lost touch with him.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05121036851364837641noreply@blogger.com
