       George Henry Smith (and his merry band of pseudonyms, Jan Hudson, Jay Judson, Jerry Jason, George Devlin, Morgan Trehune, Robert Hadley, Hank Stryker, Holt Standish, and others...) was born in 1922 in the Bayou country of Louisiana (which is reflected in some of his early sleaze titles such as SWAMP BRED and DELTA DOLL), and began his publishing career with a number of science-fiction pulp stories in the early 1950s. As with so many other writers here, Smith's nascent writing career suffered from the collapse of the already dwindling newsstand pulp business in the mid-to-late 50s and he turned to the blossoming market of "popular erotica" to continue writing. Early novels were published by Newsstand Library, Monarch, then Novel and Merit Books. His colorful imagination and engaging style were soon tapped by publishers and packagers alike and he was urged to adopt a number of pseudonyms lest he saturate the market with Smith works. Coming full circle, in the 1980s (as the adult markets dried up), he returned to science-fiction and carried on publishing in the sci-fi and fantasy genres. Any more details and info on G.H. Smith will be welcomed!
