About the author
Monette Cummings was an American writer born in Kansas City, Missouri, in 1914 and best known for writing across several kinds of popular fiction. Reliable sources describe her work as ranging from Regency romance to planetary romance and fantasy, showing how comfortably she worked in both historical and imaginative settings.
Her genre work included fantasy stories later collected in Exile and Other Tales of Fantasy (1968). She also earned major recognition in romance fiction: her novel The Beauty’s Daughter received a Golden Medallion from the Romance Writers of America.
Cummings died in Lawrence, Kansas, in 1999. A clear portrait image could not be confirmed from the sources I found, so no profile photo is included.
