About the author
Born Mittie Frances Clarke Point in 1850, she wrote under the pen name Mrs. Alex. McVeigh Miller, a name taken from her second husband. Reference sources identify her as an American novelist who also appeared in records under the surnames Davis and Miller.
She is best remembered as a highly productive dime novelist, with about 80 novels published across roughly 50 years. Her first novel was Rosamond, and her wider success came with the 1883 romance The Bride of the Tomb, a title that helped make her one of the notable popular fiction writers of her day.
She died in 1937. Her long, commercially successful career and strong appeal to general readers have kept her work in circulation well beyond her lifetime, especially among readers interested in vintage romance and sensation fiction.
