Don Pendleton Vintage Sleaze Paperbacks ? David Zentner The Executioner and Stephan (Y) Gregory Pseudonym

By Artsuggest on | From vintagesleaze.blogspot.com
Did Don Pendleton, mega-huge author of the line of formula tough guy crap "The Executioner" write this blasphemous looking book?

I think so! But as a woman.

David Zentner, one time publisher of such quality magazines as "Keyhole, Bare" and the slightly more upscale "Escapade" was once involved in a convoluted lawsuit over the Executioner novels (Read it HERE) Zentner is best known as president and/or CEO of Bee-Line, one of the most persistent paperback sleaze publishers. It lasted forever! There were hundreds, and what started as your typical soft-core, goofy paperbacks eventually morphed into more hardcore goofy cover paperbacks with models instead of paintings.

Anyway, in the court document cited above, one (me) finds a curious little tidbit, to wit: "Among the authors writing for Bee-Line was Donald Pendleton, who wrote six or seven erotic books which were published by Bee-Line in 1966 and 1967." A good lead...and one which pays off.

The official, I guess, website for the writer HERE casually mentions his earliest works, written as by one Stephan Gregory, a series of novels featuring the character Stewart Mann, one of which is titled The Sexy Saints. Except that it appears to have been published as by STEPHANY Gregory. Looks like Don was mistakingly a dame for one book!

I do not know the relationship between "Rapture" books (so lovingly indicated by lipstick on the cover) but Don did write a few other books which, at least from the titles, appear might also fit into a vintage sleaze paperback collection, including:

The Insatiables
The Sex Goddess
Madame Murder
The Hot One
All the Trimmings
The Huntress
Color Her Adultress

(Spelling of above courtesy of Wiki, who also lists "The Sexy Saints" but as by Stephan Gregory)

Worth looking into, I think...that is if you read these things.
"Bee-line" still going strong years later
