J 49... He read Poe and Scotish author John Buchan who published The 39 Steps when Hitch was a teen in 1915 but....
I am guessing the answer could be G.K Chesterton who wrote of Father Brown a Roman Catholic priest and amateur detective... the series of 53 short stories was published from 1910 when Hitchcock was just 11 years old...

J 46 John Buchan
The Thirty-Nine Steps '"an-on-the-run" thriller adopted by Hitchcock and other film makers as a much-used plot device. ?

NTA here, Isapop -- he did film three of her stories (JAMAICA/REBECCA/BIRDS), but she's not this answer.

And then there was one (and no, it is NOT Agatha Christie)
hint: the #46 author being sought is referenced in one of the other questions (in a roundabout way)

J46
Cornell Woolrich?

Not Cornell, Jervis -- this author predates him by plenty.

A46 Third and final guess: Joseph Conrad, author of SECRET AGENT, among many other masterworks. Welcome back to the GG fold, Spider -- you sure have been missed around these parts. Three good guesses, but it is an earlier author who inspired a young Hitch.

HITCHing a ride reaches its destination -- thanks to the Sensational Six: 
___________________________________________________________
BELLA and ISAPOP 
JERVIS and MARSHA 
and down the homestretch:
MAN-X and SPIDER 
__________________________________________________________
and as long as we are quizzing the careers of famous film directors:
Brush up your Ed Wood
Start watching him now
Link GLEN OR GLENDA
And the Players you will wow
Be the first contestant to set the pace
By lassoing PLAN NINE FROM OUTER SPACE
Show the Quizmaster just how much you rate
When you impress him by spotting JAIL BAIT
Make the rest of the crowd all feel like fools
'Cause you're the one who nabbed NIGHT OF THE GHOULS
Brush up on Ed Wood
and they'll all kowtow

Then here's a little extra question for you (or anybody).
What Hitchcock film was re-made for TV starring a former cast member of Saturday Night Live?

Jane Curtin played the Joan Fontaine role in an American Playhouse TV version of SUSPICION in 1987. Indeed! (Rumor is that a planned TV remake of Psycho fell through when Bill Murray insisted on being the one in the shower.)

Thanks, Matt, for this surprise Game that had a super suspenseful climax. “Who is J46?” is the new “What is The 39 Steps?”.
