About the author
Very little biographical information about Kate Marion Tucker appears to be readily documented online, but reliable cataloging sources agree that she was an American author born in 1890 and died in 1946.
She is chiefly known for The Haunted Ship, published by Macmillan in 1929. The story is a children's or juvenile adventure novel set on the Maine coast, and modern summaries describe it as a blend of seaside vacation story, mystery, and light suspense.
Because so little else about her life is easy to confirm from accessible sources, her surviving reputation rests almost entirely on that one book and its continued afterlife through public-domain editions and audiobook recordings.
