George Goodchild was a British author, screenwriter, and director born on December 1, 1888. He wrote under his own name and also used pseudonyms including Alan Dare, Wallace Q. Reid, and Jesse Templeton. Reference sources consistently describe him as an unusually productive popular writer, with more than 200 works published during and after his lifetime.
His fiction ranged widely across thrillers, adventures, mysteries, and other popular genres, and his work also reached film and the stage. That breadth helps explain why he remained visible in library and bibliography records long after his most active publishing years.
He died in 1969. A suitable confirmed portrait image was not available from the page I checked, so no profile image is included here.
