Frank Lillie Pollock

Born on February 4, 1876, Francis Lillie Pollock was a Canadian writer whose fiction appeared under several forms of his name, including Frank L. Pollock and Frank Lillie Pollock. Sources consistently describe him as a prolific early twentieth-century author, especially associated with science fiction, adventure stories, and western fiction.

He published widely in magazine culture, and reference sources note that he wrote commercial fiction under one name, western or adventure fiction under another, and literary fiction under his own. That range helps explain why he shows up in several corners of popular fiction history rather than fitting neatly into a single genre.

Pollock died on February 6, 1957. I found solid biographical information about his life and writing career, but I was not able to confirm a suitable portrait image from the pages I checked, so no profile image is included.
