E-mail from author, 28 Apr. 2014
("the book I wrote under the name Ray Lilly was entitled The Touch Team; Jay David was a catchall name used by several people for books they did not want published under their own name, especially those created by a legendary book packager named Bill Adler; while I did use that name occasionally for a newspaper piece, I don't recall publishing any books under it")
