John Burke: A very incomplete bibliography

[dem bones]

Delving back through the archives we find Lord P. first suggested we give John Burke a section to himself on June 13th 2007 so I hope that puts to bed the perenial moan that it takes me a year get around to anything .....

Where to start? A bibliography, I guess, which i'm hoping you will flesh out as we go along.

The "relatively unsung Brit pulp hero" line is pulphack's and seemed the most appropriate subheading for the section.

Let's go.

Thanks for this Dem - it just gives me a good head start on what to source and read before I go up and see him next year. If any one has any John Burke books they find or have spares of or are wanting to sell - please come give me a nudge.

Idly Googling Robert Miall (Burkey's pseudonym for the UFO and Jason King novelisations) threw up an International Who's Who of Authors and Writers 2004. If I'm looking at the correct bloke other pseudos include Owen Burke, Harriet Esmond, Jonathan George, Joanna Jones, Sara Morris and Martin Sands. (Sadly, no Pierce Nace). He also won the Atlantic Award for Literature 1948-49.

PS Johnny - if you want to read The Boys let me know.
