 Besides full-length novels, he wrote novellas for the most part published in magazines, notably developing the character in the pages of the British story-paper "The Thriller" under the tutelage of Monty Hayden, who was developing the ″Desperado″ character type for the magazine, and these were later collected in hardback books collecting two or three stories per volume.He also wrote short stories featuring the character, again mostly for magazines and later compiled into omnibus editions.In later years these short stories carried a common theme, such as the women Templar meets or exotic places he visits.
