May Evelyn Skiles

May Evelyn Skiles was an American author best known for A Singular Metamorphosis, a novel published in 1902 and later digitized by Project Gutenberg.

Reliable public information about her life appears to be limited. Available records identify her as May Evelyn Skiles and suggest she lived from 1884 to 1948, but detailed biographical accounts have not been easy to confirm from major literary reference sources.

That scarcity of background gives her work an added air of mystery. Today, she is mainly of interest to readers who enjoy rediscovering overlooked writers from the early 1900s and exploring fiction that has survived through archival projects rather than lasting fame.
