Biography
Hay was born Oswyn Robert Cohn in London in 1922.[2] As an adult, he was working for the Refuse Collection Department of Camden Borough Council when he wrote the first chapter and an outline of a novel, which he sent to Hamilton-Stafford. Editor Gordon Landsborough, then editor, liked it, and told Hay to finish it. Hay received payment for the story, which he says immediately went all to rent.[3]
Hay died in Hastings, East Sussex in 1997.[2]
