"The Home Trail" was printed in "People's Story Magazine" (1922 August 25; 4 September 11, 18, 25) and sold for $1,000. With the sale of this novel, Emanuel sailed for America in July 1922, and promptly followed up his success with another $1,000 Canadian serial sale! "Lee of the Northwest Mounted" appeared in "People's Popular Monthly" (1923 January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August). This he succeeded later the same year with yet another $1,000 sale, in the form of "Sergeant Forbes, Alias" in four instalments of "People's" magazine (1923 August 15; 1 September 15; 1 October). From 1923 to 1925, Emanuel proudly sold three "serious" novels under his own surname. The first, "The Story of John Paul," was suppressed as libelous; largely because his brother, Montague, is named in the novel as the protagonist's father; additionally, the novel was anti-Semitic. In late 1924, he sold "Middle Years"; this was released in early 1925, and dealt with a middle-aged man's life insecurities and fancy for a younger woman. With the elimination of his initial novel, which had announced a forthcoming sequel, Emanuel rewrote it as "The Selmans," attacking England's Jews as hypocritical. With the success of his three 1922–1923 one-grand Canadian serial novels, Emanuel realised his future lay in writing Frozen North and Western tales for the pulp magazines, a market he continued to tap until 1942. He also wrote heavily during this period for the various self-proclaimed True magazines. However, since they were reportedly "true" tales, none of the tales sported a byline. Confirming which stories are his is nearly impossible, unless he used Canada or South Africa as background colour as potential clues. With "The Surgeon of Souls" finding new life in "Weird Tales" (1926–1927), Emanuel re-entered the fantasy field courtesy of Bernarr MacFadden's "Ghost Stories" magazine (1926–1929), running a series of psychic investigative tales featuring Dr. Martinus. He also sold five SF tales in 1930 to the newly launched "Astounding Stories of Super-Science", and two novelettes in 1931 to "Miracle Science and Fantasy Stories". With his elimination from the defunct "Ghost Stories" publication, he was invited to write for Clayton's "Strange Tales of Mystery and Terror", supplying three tales (1931–1932).
