According to SFE3 (
http://www.sf-encyclopedia.com/entry/garrett_randall)
and the Encyclopedia of Fantasy
(
http://sf-encyclopedia.uk/fe.php?nm=heydron_vicki_ann):
"[Garrett] eventually abandoned the priesthood and married his third
wife, Vicki Ann Heydron, with whom he plotted the Gandalara series of
heroic fantasies; these appeared as collaborations, although in fact
Heydron wrote them since Garrett – in the wake of a serious attack of
viral meningitis – gradually lost the ability to work after 1979, and
was hospitalized from 1981 until his death."
