Born December 26, 1888, and died March 3, 1948
He's best known for his popular fiction novels, particularly Beyond Love and Hate and Madame Pearl. Working within the Neo-Thought literary movement, he carved out a solid career writing accessible stories that connected with general readers rather than literary elites.
Outside of writing, he was a gambling enthusiast—something that apparently mattered enough to those who knew him that it stuck around in the biographical record. Whether it influenced his work or just his wallet remains unclear, but it's part of who he was.
