		George Hendrick, an English professor emeritus at the University of Illinois and editor of "To Reach Eternity: The Letters of James Jones," is one of the co-authors of the new book.
		However, she took at least one of her students – Jones, 17 years her junior – as a lover.
		The colony was financed by Handy's husband, Harry, who had his own mistress, and by Jones after the royalties started coming in for "Eternity." It is "very unlikely" that Jones would have become a great writer without the support and structure of the Handys, Hendrick said.
