About the author
Kathleen Carman was a writer active in the early 1900s. She is credited as the author of "The Debt," a short story published in The Atlantic Monthly in February 1915.
Her work was later collected in Atlantic Narratives: Modern Short Stories; Second Series (1918), an anthology drawn from stories that had appeared in The Atlantic. That places her among the many magazine fiction writers whose work reached readers through major periodicals rather than long lists of books.
Reliable biographical information about her appears to be scarce online. Genealogical records identify her as Kathleen Charlotte Carman Dodge (1875–1959), but beyond that, the surviving public record seems much fuller for her publication history than for her personal life.
