Michael Slade

Michael Slade is a collaborative literary pseudonym used primarily by genre novelist Jay Clarke, most frequently in collaboration with John Banks. Clarke and Banks developed the pseudonym with Richard Covell in the early 1980s when shopping around the murder mystery novel Headhunter which was written by all three of them. Although multiple authors have worked in tandem under the pen name "Michael Slade" Clarke has also contributed enough solo work that the pseudonym is generally referred to as his primarily.
