- Awarded the MBE (Member of the Order of the British Empire) in 1946 for services in the United Kingdom's National Savings Movement during World War II.
- Wrote over 565 books under 25 pseudonyms.
- His fourth wife, whom he married a month before he died, was the nurse who had looked after him after he suffered a heart attack a year earlier.
- His pseudonym J J Marric, which he used for his Commander George Gideon books, was derived from the initial of his first name (John), the initial of his wife's middle name (Jean), and the first three letters of his two sons' names (MARtin and RIChard).
- Apart from crime novels, the author also wrote science fiction, romance and westerns.
- Sometimes I fail in what I'm trying to do--perhaps it's more than I can cope with. I've no idea ahead of time of what will develop; the plot and any other ideas all happen simultaneously in the . . . if you'll forgive the pompous phrase . . . in the "act of creation", as it were . . . None of it is easy.
