1901. Myrtle Reed came from a religious and literary family, where she was encouraged to be a writer. She became a freelance journalist after graduating from high school. Her poems, sketches, and stories began appearing regularly in such periodicals as the Bookman, Munsey's Magazine, and the National Magazine. Her first novel, Love Letters of a Musician, was widely popular and led to other works. This volume begins: I little though, My Lady, when last I wrote to you, that I should ever do it again. I could imagine no circumstance, no unfriendly Fate, that should take me from your side. But the veiled Future has ever strange things in store for us, and so tonight I am away from you-not willingly, as you know. See other titles by this author available from Kessinger Publishing.
