Clancy was a car salesman. Maybe he was the one got the "co-writer" to fix it. But remember it's not just the big outfits that "fix" books. Small specialty pubs do it too.

I mean, I guess. I know ghostwriters are a thing. There's V.C. Andrews like I mentioned. And for a while there was the Tom Clancy's house name of David Michaels.
But the thing is, Andrew Neiderman is the ghostwriter for V.C. Andrews and David Michaels was Ray Benson and then Grant Blackwood. Ghostwriter's names get out.
So how could it still be a secret for two of the biggest writers of the 20th century? And why would they publish some books with co-authors credited and some without?
If you have any sort of reporting that's better than 'people are saying' I'll read it. Otherwise I'll stick with Occam's Razor.
