About the author

F. Morton Howard, identified by Project Gutenberg as F. Morton (Francis Morton) Howard, was a fiction writer active in the early 1900s. His surviving public record online is quite sparse, but his books continue to circulate through major digital archives, which suggests he had a steady place in popular reading of his time.

Project Gutenberg lists him under the fuller name Francis Morton Howard and includes works such as Strictly Business. Based on the available sources I could confirm during this search, he appears to have written light popular fiction rather than academic or specialist work.

I wasn't able to confirm many biographical details beyond the name form and authorship record, and I did not find a reliable portrait image on the sources I checked. For lesser-documented authors of this period, that is not unusual.
