The paperback boom lasted only five years, after which James turned to horror novels, writing as James Darke and Richard Haigh, juvenile books (some in collaboration with his son, Matthew) about American football and baseball, and a children's fantasy series. Many of James's pseudonyms were shared between a small, alternating group of writers for example, William M James was split between James, Harknett and John Harvey. He produced dozens of westerns, beginning in 1974 with the Apache series (as William M James), a violent revenge story which ran over two dozen novels, as did the Herne The Hunter series for Corgi (written as John J McLaglen). He wrote hell's angel novels as Mick Norman Viking and Roman historical novels as Arthur Frazier, Andrew Quiller and Neil Langholm science fiction under his own name humorous confessions as Jonathan May and Christopher Nolan and romances as Mary Fraser. James left NEL in 1973 to freelance for the market he had helped create. Since NEL was, as James admitted, "the bottom end of the market, we were either creative or we went under".
