Notes

Michael Storme is a pseudonym used by George H. Dawson.

"Michael Storme was born in England during the first world war. In the second world war he was a radio-engineer in the Royal Air Force and saw service in Egypt, Sudan, Tripoli, Italy, Sicily, Malta and Eritrea. He was also on the aircraft-carrier Indomitable when it made a last minute dash with replacement Hurricane fighter planes for the defence of Singapore. His 1939-45 Star, Africa Star and Clasp, Burma Star and Clasp and Italy Star are proof of his multifarius adventures. He was demobbed with the rank of sergeant."
How much of that is true is difficult to say. What we know for sure is that Michael Storme was the pen-name of George H. Dawson, and certainly a number of George H. Dawsons were born in 1914-18. George H. Dawson never published a novel under his own name but my proof is from correspondence with two authors who knew him. Both Thomas Martin and Lisle Willis linked Dawson to Storme. Hot Dames on Cold Slabs is dedicated to "Cathy and Lisle who like to go adventuring with me" and Tom further noted that Dawson was the co-founder of Tempest Publications, "which no doubt accounts for the name."
