His stories appeared frequently in Argosy magazine and also in The Saturday Evening Post. He also wrote paperback original swashbuckling historical novels and also some non-fiction works. There is an eyewitness account by a Robert Carse, a seaman aboard the SS Steel Worker as it made its way along the Norwegian coast in an Arctic convoy during WWII and whilst I have not been able to establish a firm connection, as the authors published works include Lifeline: The Ships and Men of Our Merchant Marine at War and Nitro to Murmansk, it seems probable that that may represent an account of his wartime service."
