by Allan McAulay
Born Charlotte Stewart on September 30, 1863, in Cachar, Assam, in British India, she was the only child of Colonel Robert Stewart and Charlotte Joanna Murray. Reference sources identify Allan McAulay as her pseudonym, and library records connect her published work under both names.
She wrote fiction in several modes, including historical novels, and was active in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Her books include The Rhymer, Beggars and Sorners, and Robinetta, and some records also show her using the pseudonym "Two."
She died in Crieff, Scotland, on April 18, 1918. Although she is not as widely remembered today as some of her contemporaries, her novels still survive through library catalogs and digital archives, where modern readers can rediscover her storytelling.
