About the author

John Richard Meader was an American author born in 1870. Surviving catalog and public-domain records link him to books such as The Ten Laws of Success (1911) and Your Pay Envelope (1914), both written in a straightforward, practical style aimed at everyday readers.

He is also connected with more unusual work on psychical and spiritual questions. Library and audiobook records describe him as a member of the American Statistical Society and the Society for Psychical Research, and note that he wrote under the pen name Graham Hood.

Even though many biographical details about his life are hard to confirm, his books show a writer interested in both worldly success and life’s biggest mysteries.
