Does anyone here know the names of the writers beside Dannay and Lee who wrote under the name Ellery Queen. The three I know of are Theodore Sturgeon,
Avram Davidson and Jack Vance. I know that Sturgeon wrote "The Player On the Other Side' but that's all. I did a search on the Internet but this was all the info I could find. They're all sf writers. I love it!

Juvenile novels attributed to Ellery Queen, Jr.

These novels were edited by Lee and ghosted by various authors, including
Frank Belknap Long (who admitted writing two without mentioning the titles),
Samuel Duff McCoy, and James Clark Carlisle, Jr., who "aroused the ire of
Lee by farming out the writing of some of the books to a "sub-ghost", which
has made establishing authorship even worse".[2] All the "Junior" novels
with a colour in their title starred Djuna (see Ellery Queen), the Queens'
houseboy. "The Mystery of the Merry Magician" and "The Mystery of the
Vanished Victim" starred "Gulliver Queen", Ellery's nephew.

The Black Dog Mystery - 1941 (ghosted by Samuel Duff McCoy)
The Golden Eagle Mystery - 1942
The Green Turtle Mystery - 1944
The Red Chipmunk Mystery - 1946 (ghosted by Samuel Duff McCoy)
The Brown Fox Mystery - 1948 (ghosted by Samuel Duff McCoy)
The White Elephant Mystery - 1950 (ghosted by Samuel Duff McCoy)
The Yellow Cat Mystery - 1952 (ghosted by Samuel Duff McCoy)
The Blue Herring Mystery - 1954 (ghosted by Samuel Duff McCoy)

Wow! For this I will say thank you. Frank Belnap Long, too. He was
also a fantasy writer. But what did Davidson and Sturgeon write?
I'll have check out pen names they wrote under.

Okay. Got'em. Theodore Sturgeon wrote "The Player On The Other Side"

Avram Davidson wrote "And On The Eighth Day" and "The Fourth Side of the Triangle".

Jack Vance did three books and 8 stories.

Frank Belnap Long did two books but didn't name them (Garn!)

I'll be rereading the EQ books about EQ, but now I'll know who wrote them
and can see if I recognize their writing styles. I'd like to check out the other books not about EQ. I've never read any of them plus the last EQ short story collection.
