That's very cool to hear you have the original painting for Caribbean Kill. Did you ever read the novel? It was my favorite of the entire series, and one of my favorite men's adventure novels in general, though to tell the truth I kind of prefer the painting for the original printing from Lancer Books, when it was just titled Enforcer #Joe Kenneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03285576322579808153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3701602284718920546.post-29809228039599846892013-10-23T23:43:27.547-05:002013-10-23T23:43:27.547-05:00I bought the original art work for the cover of Ca...I bought the original art work for the cover of Caribbean Kill about 20 years ago for $50 never knowing anything about it until today when a goggle image search brought me here!

I too wonder what happened to Mr. Sugar...as well as so many of the other authors whose work I enjoy. Have you read his Enforcer novels? There are many Libertarian-esque political conversations therein.Joe Kenneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03285576322579808153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3701602284718920546.post-73147682531288051002011-02-28T03:25:29.667-06:002011-02-28T03:25:29.667-06:00Actually, I knew Andrew Sugar back in the seventie...Actually, I knew Andrew Sugar back in the seventies when he was writing these books and living in the Hudson Valley. Andy was definitely no woman -- he was married with two teen kids and a definite masculine persona including a scruffy beard and a bawdy sense of humor. <br /><br />He was interested in libertarian politics and occasionally attended meetings of the then nascent NY Libertarian Theophrastushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16448395313888993130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3701602284718920546.post-71520746908846754792010-09-02T11:29:03.857-05:002010-09-02T11:29:03.857-05:00Now that I think of it, in Enforcer #1 there's...Now that I think of it, in Enforcer #1 there's a part where minor character Brunnie -- Alex Jason's love interest -- goes on and on about how hard it is to be a woman in a man's world. If it's true that Sugar was a woman, than this would be a definite in-joke.<br /><br />At any rate that would be pretty ironic, wouldn't it -- that one of the best writers of men's Joe Kenneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03285576322579808153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3701602284718920546.post-83070518100282992742010-09-01T12:03:26.963-05:002010-09-01T12:03:26.963-05:00Well, actually just Lancer and then Manor, now tha...Well, actually just Lancer and then Manor, now that I've looked at the ABE listings. Except for that tent book in 1979, which seems to be the last Andrew Sugar book. The Enforcer and The Israeli Commandos appear to be his only series, with YANK being his only stand-alone. 11 or 12 books total, in a career lasting about six years. Funny, I thought there were more than that.James Reasonerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18049917964433932612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3701602284718920546.post-554748210553306062010-09-01T11:55:15.915-05:002010-09-01T11:55:15.915-05:00Andrew Sugar worked for several different publishe...Andrew Sugar worked for several different publishers, so it certainly wasn't a house name. I believe someone once told me that her real name was Andrea Sugar (just one letter different from Andrew). I feel a little bad about gossiping about something that may not even be true, but that's the way a lot of this bibliographic info gets uncovered in the first place.James Reasonerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18049917964433932612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3701602284718920546.post-76821323907062146352010-09-01T11:30:24.684-05:002010-09-01T11:30:24.684-05:00That's a crazy rumor!

I just assumed Sugar was a real person, as so many books were published under that name, from the Yank novel you mention to even a nonfiction book titled "Backpacking," or something like that.

No idea if there's any truth to that. Not long ago I picked up a copy of the Sugar novel YANK.
