About the author
Born in Maryland in 1884, George Bronson-Howard built a varied writing career that reached across magazines, novels, Broadway, and early cinema. He was known as an American writer and journalist, and a number of his works were adapted for film during the silent era.
His career reflects the fast-moving popular culture of the 1910s and early 1920s, when writers often worked in several forms at once. In addition to fiction, he was credited on Broadway productions and also worked in screenwriting and related film projects, which helped spread his stories beyond the printed page.
Bronson-Howard died in Los Angeles in 1922, still young, but his work remains tied to a fascinating moment when popular fiction, theater, and film were all feeding into one another. For listeners interested in authors from the age of pulp adventure and early movies, he offers a vivid glimpse of that world.
