Life

Koblinski studied pharmacy after graduating from high school . He signed up for the Wehrmacht , where he remained until the end of World War II . After that he made his living, initially doing temporary work at Bayer AG in Leverkusen . He later became a local reporter for the Kölner Stadt-Anzeiger . In the course of this he came into contact with Billy Jenkins , who put him in touch with UTA publishing house . For this he wrote his first novel ( TOM PROX No. 47 Difficult Order ). Shortly thereafter, further novels from the Bob Hill series and loan books (westerns and crime novels ) were added to this series. Hans Joachim von Koblinski quit the Stadtanzeiger and became a full-time author.

In addition to the UTA publishing house, he also wrote loan books for the Feldmann publishing house, primarily crime and romance novels. At Feldmann he was hired as a lecturer for a monthly fee of 150 marks. In addition, he was responsible for the editing of manuscripts, including any necessary cuts and extensions, as well as the cover design of the crime and women's novel area. The publisher paid between 200 and 400 marks per novel for editing, plus the fees for their own novels. Koblinski was responsible for the entire crime and women's novel area of ​​the publisher. That was twelve new publications a month , four more after the acquisition of Zwei Schwalben-Verlag . During this time he made his own decisions about what was bought and published.

The amount of work made it increasingly difficult to write your own books, which were primarily published by Franke and Feldmann. As a result, he regularly exceeded the deadlines for submitting the manuscript. So he started to dictate his novels for Feldmann on tape . In the publishing house they were then copied and given for typesetting. In some cases there was not enough time to do so himself, so he dictated some novels directly to the typesetter .

When the loan books ran out, he wrote pornographic novels for the publishers Olympia-Press and Decker for some time from 1972 . Feldmann Verlag, one of the last loan book publishers, ended its business activities in 1976, which also ended Koblinski's time as an editor. From 1978 he started writing notebooks again, now for Bastei-Verlag . He was on the ranks of Professor Zamorra , Mark Baxter , the ghost crime thriller , Jerry Cotton , the novel adaptation of Kojak. Use in Manhattan and involved in the midnight novel .

Until about the mid-90s he wrote novels for women and westerns in booklet format. From around 1995 he was no longer able to write any further novels for health reasons. Since the previously earned money had been completely spent, he lived - due to a lack of income from the novels - from some reprints in the women's area and the Zamorra lovers edition , otherwise from social welfare .

Over the years, Hans Joachim von Koblinski used a large number of pseudonyms, often together with other authors. These included John Fletcher, Terry Shattner, Robert Lamont , Frederic Collins, Brian Elliot, Frank deLorca, Joe McBrown, JH Wayne, Jim Kellog, John Fletcher Dagmar von Kirchstein, Phil A.
