We are greatly indebted to journalist and editor Hal Sullivan, a good friend of the authors for the following information Willie Duncan was a marvellous friend and an inspiration Willie and Marion Duncan lived at Loup Cottage, near Tarbert, Argyll, Scotland.   I think Willie sent his manuscripts to a lady in Wales for typewriting; then looked the result over and once or twice a year (reluctantly) went to London with half a dozen or so novels.  His publisher at John Long, Gerry Austin, also became an acquaintance of mine and he said that Willie’s true heyday was in the time of Boots The Chemist’s libraries and such; but he was always popular, regardless.    The author sadly died of cancer on April 19th of 1975
