Ooh I'll bet that's a nightmare for figuring out the rights. Fern Michaels started out as two authors, Mary Kuczkir and Roberta Anderson. Most articles you'll see today list only Mary Kuczkir as the author. That's because the partnership split up, and Mary Kuczkir got the rights to the Fern Michaels name in 1989. So I wonder if the books before 1989 (such as the Captive books) are still tied up in rights limbo, or if they going to be are available?

I remember reading something weird about the Fern Michaels/Robert Anderson case years ago, maybe in an early Romantic Times. But I can't find anything more recent about it. Sigh. Anyone remember more information?
