About the author
Very little biographical information about May Evelyn Skiles is readily confirmed in reliable public sources, which makes her one of those authors who survives more clearly through her work than through a detailed life story.
What can be confirmed is that she wrote A Singular Metamorphosis, a novel published in 1902. The book has been preserved by institutions such as the Library of Congress and Project Gutenberg, helping new readers discover her writing long after its original release.
Because so few dependable details about her personal life are easy to verify, her legacy is best approached through the novel itself: a piece of early-20th-century fiction shaped by themes of transformation, emotion, and social intrigue.
