Might be... but in the MST3K-able literature, there were such as one Pel Torro -- I read two of his books in disbelief and with no pleasure, and was imprudent enough to buy and read something in paperback called
Solo Kill by someone claiming his name was S. Kye Boult. Yes, it was an aviation/science fiction piece. No, it was no good. Worse than John Norman.
They did well to hide behind pseudonyms, but their works are not silly enough to get out aloud as a contest in science fiction conventions, so even that fame is denied them.
