He was, by the way, influenced by Jack Woodford’s 1933 book Trial and Error, a blunt, unsentimental guide to commercial writing. He once told me it had saved him a lot of time.
Words to live by…thanks, Doug…thanks, John….

Of course, John didn’t always practice what he preached. His three novels were a Batman spoof and two soft-core quickies written to formula, and his abandoned novels don’t have much to do with the inner Keel. For some reason, forteana inspired and engaged him more.
