Van Vogt's Explanation Of Their Collaboration Was That She Had Written A Short Story Which He Greatly Expanded; Van Vogt Later Told His Second Wife That All Of Mayne's Work Was His Own; He Pasted Labels In His Own Copies Of Their Books To That Effect; And Said That He Wrote Under Her Name Only Because Astounding Had A Policy Of Publishing Only One Story By An Author In A Single Issue And He Got Around That By Using Her Name For A Second Story In The Same Issue.
