Addenda to CRIME FICTION IV – Stephen Gresham & Evelyn Grey to Susan Leslie Liepitz.
Posted by Steve under Authors , Crime Fiction IV[5] Comments
I’ve been busy recently, but things are starting to look up. After a long break, I’ve finally been able to add some links and images to the online Addenda to the Revised Crime Fiction IV, by Allen J. Hubin. Here are some of the results from Part 25, which I uploaded a short while ago this evening. There’s no connection between the authors so far as I can see. They represent several different genres and sub-genres, but all of them are crime fiction, in one form or another.
And don’t forget: Anything you can add that’s relevant to these authors or their work would be welcome. Corrections, too!
GRESHAM, STEPHEN (LEROY). 1947- . Add pseudonym: J. V. Lewton, q.v. Other pen name: John Newland. Author of many novels of supernatural horror, mystery and suspense, three of which are included in the Revised Crime Fiction IV, two marginally. The author presently lives in Auburn, Alabama, where he teaches creative writing at Auburn University.
-Midnight Boy. Zebra, pb, 1987.
Rockabye Baby. Zebra, pb, 1984. “He rocked them into eternal sleep with a lullaby of death.”
-Runaway. Zebra, pb, 1988.
GREY, EVELYN. Pseudonym of Susan Leslie Liepitz, 1954- , q.v. Add as a new author entry. SC: Serena Miles Camberleigh, in both titles. Both were published as thick Gothic romances at nearly the end of the genre’s period of popularity. (Averaging over 400 pages long, they may have been the longest Gothics ever published.)
Camberleigh. Berkley, pb, 1985. Setting: England, past.
Mayfair. Berkley, pb, 1986. Setting: England, past.
LESLIE, EDWARD. Pseudonym of Leslie Edward Sellicks, 1902- , q.v. Author of three works of crime fiction included in the Revised Crime Fiction IV, one marginally:
The Red Slayer. Herbert Jenkins, UK, hc, 1929.
The Seventh Entanglement. Herbert Jenkins, UK, hc, 1930. Add setting: England.
-White Man’s Prestige. Frederick Warne, UK, hc, 1939.
LEWTON, J. V. Pseudonym of Stephen (Leroy) Gresham, 1947- , q.v. Other pseudonym: John Newland, q.v. Add as a new author entry. Both books below are horror/mystery novels intended for younger readers.
Called to Darkness. Zebra, pb, 1995.
Just Pretend. Zebra, pb, 1994.
LIEPITZ, SUSAN LESLIE. 1954- . Add as a new author entry. Pseudonym: Evelyn Grey, q.v.; other pen names: Ashley Allyn, Susan Leslie. Romance fiction author, some of whose books have crime-related components, including the one below:
Mystic Memories. Jove, pb, 1998. Time travel romance. Setting: Present/past (1833). Leading character: psychic private investigator Cara Edwards, who is hired to trace a young boy who has disappeared on a restored sailing ship.
SELLICKS, LESLIE EDWARD. 1902- . Pseudonym: Edward Leslie, q.v.

Hi!
My name’s Deborah and I’m trying so hard to find a the book called ‘Mayfair’ from Evelyn Grey. I read Camberleigh a long time ago and I’ve looked for the second part since that day.
It seems to me that you have more information about the story and the author than the other web pages I visited.
Do you know what can I do to get the book?
I’m spanish and here in my country ther is no copies(spanish one) … so I’m looking now for an english one. Much better if it’s on pdf coument.Could you help me?
Thank you very much for your help!
Nice web!

It’s an easy book to find in the US. There are 20 copies available on Amazon.com, for example, starting at $.01 (plus postage). Many of the sellers will mail their books overseas (even more postage).
You might also try http://www.bookfinder.com for a bookseller who might charge less for shipping.
I hope this helps!

Evelyn Grey is not the pseudonym for Susan Leslie Liepitz. Not sure how that started, but I wrote three books under my maiden name of Susan Leslie Liepitz– THIS TIME TOGETHER, THAT WILDER MAN & MYSTIC MEMORIES. My real name is Susan Phillips which was on my first book–RAPTURE’S LEGACY that will soon be reissued electronically as DARK COVENANT under GILLIAN DOYLE.

That you were the author of the Evelyn Grey books seems to be an incorrect fact widely spread on the Internet. I’ll send your comment on to Al Hubin, and we’ll make the needed corrections as far as this blog and his CFIV are concerned.
Thanks for getting in touch, and good luck with the new edition of RAPTURE’S LEGACY!
