No Saint's.<BR/><BR/>Arthur Moore wrote for Ellery Queen, Hitchcock, Shayne and The Saint, all in the same time period. One that FM is missing for the latter is "Scratch One Paradise" in the Sept 1967 issue.<BR/><BR/>I think that the western writer Arthur Moore is another fellow. I'll see if I can't come up with one the westerns. Sometimes Gold Medal has brief bios in the back.<BR/><BR/>But Matthews and the "other" Arthur Moore could be one and the same. Like you, though, I've got nothing tangible to prove it, one way or the other.<BR/><BR/> -- SteveStevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10679390247854141025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9919027.post-83193522348229667492008-09-21T22:37:00.000+03:002008-09-21T22:37:00.000+03:00Sorry, no references on Matthews/Moore.

I would've said it's from Hubin. <BR/><BR/>I think I found a bit of evidence though. Matthews wrote to me that he wrote for Saint Detective Magazine. Now, I can't find any reference on him having written for that magazine (I'm dependent on Fictionmags Index only, though, so checking more thorough indices might indicate other evidence), but there were at least two stories in that mag as by Arthur Moore. Per FM Index: <BR/><BR/>* Bum Rap, (ss) The Saint Detective Magazine (UK) Mar 1964 <BR/>* Wriggle Room Only [*Katzie’s Saloon; Robert Dubois], (ss) The Saint Detective Magazine (UK) Nov 1965 <BR/><BR/>So I think it is entirely possible that Matthews was Moore. I received an e-mail saying that there was a Moore who wrote the Westerns that were attributed to him, but all the other books were by Matthews. But if Matthews was Moore, then he used the penname already in the early sixties, ten years before Moore's Western paperbacks.Jurihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03021010310386744591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9919027.post-80792971178666410772008-09-21T01:17:00.000+03:002008-09-21T01:17:00.000+03:00JuriAl Hubin has no information on Arthur Moore ot...Juri<BR/><BR/>Al Hubin has no information on Arthur Moore other than the name and the books he's credited for, including three pen names, all of which were joint collaborations with other authors. There's only one book in Crime Fiction IV that's under his name only. <BR/><BR/>There is an Arthur Moore who wrote a few westerns, and at least one SF novel was written by an Arthur Moore.<BR/><BR/>Were they all written by the same guy? Arthur Moore is an awfully common name, so I haven't been able to pinpoint down which Arthur Moore did or did not write what.<BR/><BR/>Have you any references to the rumors that Clayton Matthews might have been Arthur Moore? Al Hubin doesn't include a 1977 death date for Moore, but that doesn't prove anything either way as to whether Matthews and Moore were one and the same.<BR/><BR/> -- SteveStevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10679390247854141025noreply@blogger.com
