Many of his visionary tales appeared in magazines such as Pearson"s Magazine and Pearson"s Weekly before being published as novels. After writing freelance articles in his spare time, he joined a newspaper for a short spell, then authored a series of secular pamphlets including Ananias, The Atheist"s God: For the Attention of Charles Bradlaugh.
