Back in 1970 this fellow had written and published under 55 different pseudonyms (using women's names), producing (at the time of recording) 189 books over 8 years, averaging 2 a month. Earning a living from churning out light (sex-less) romance for (at the time) a very high demand from his female audience. Supposedly this type of writer was referred to in the industry as a "broiler-house" writer. There must be blokes like him now, the difference being that the content is widely not so softcore or light anymore. I wonder how popular this kind of light Romance still is, surely there is still a demographic of older women who still read such things? I wonder if it would be a satisfying job, or drive one mental at the tedium of never getting to write anything out of passion or personal interest.
