Whatever happened to Penelope ash?

Whatever happened to Penelope Ash? Who knows. "Penelope Ash" was a pen name for a small group of editors and writers who decided, sometime around 1970, to write a parody of Jaqueline Suzanne's books. The first and perhaps only book produced by this crew was entitled Naked Came The Stranger. The bookcover featured a photo of "Penelope Ash" -- actually the wife of an editor, unless my memory fails. Each contributing writer turned out a formulaic chapter, ostensibly without reference to an other chapter by any other contributor. I am not sure about this, but I seem to recall that "Stranger" topped the NYT Bestseller list for a week or two. Or perhaps it simply made the list. Penelope "Ash" should be Ashe and "Jaqueline Suzanne" should be Jacqueline Susann. My mistake. Who reads this stuff, anyway? Also, Wikipedia has an entry under "Naked Came the Stranger." The year of publication was 1969, rather than 1970.
