He wrote several series for the pulps including the Kid Friel boxing stories in Gangster Stories and the Dorus Noel undercover-detective stories for All Detective Magazine set in Manhattan s Chinatown. The pressure of producing so much fiction caused him to ease off in the late-1930s. He returned to active duty as the . entered World War II and eventually retired with the rank of lieutenant colonel. Burks moved to Paradise in Lancaster County Pennsylvania in 1948 where he continued to write until his death in 1974. Throughout the 60s he wrote many works on metaphysics and the paranormal.
