Her first novel, The Maid of the Whispering Hills, was published in 1912 and received early critical praise. Several of her works were adapted into silent films and one sound picture. She married Raymond C. Lawton in 1907, and after their divorce, she lived with her mother on Lost Valley Ranch in California.
