info from the books as I read them
does he really get two articles?
Does he really get two articles, one with his real name and one with his pen name? Just curious!Pat Palmer (talk) 04:23, 10 October 2020 (UTC)
- not at all. William Haggard is the name of the author. Colonel Charles Russell is his lead character. Just like Raymond Chandler and Philip Marlowe. Hayford Peirce (talk) 14:32, 10 October 2020 (UTC)

- Even Great Homer nods, as the saying goes, hehe....Hayford Peirce (talk) 01:11, 11 October 2020 (UTC)
- But I imagine that having his picture there in the Russell article might confuse things for a cursory glance. And, of course, I would imagine that Colonel Russell is probably as close a fictional creation to his author's life and personality as exists in this kind of fiction. Dashiell Hammett had been an actual detective, so maybe some of HIS characters mimicked him, but Philip Marlowe would just be a dream in Chandler's head....Hayford Peirce (talk) 01:16, 11 October 2020 (UTC)
