Mrs. Georgie Sheldon

Sarah Elizabeth Forbush Downs (1843–1926), better known to many readers as Mrs. Georgie Sheldon, was an American author of dime novels and magazine fiction. She published under several forms of her name, including Sarah Elizabeth Forbush Downs, Mrs. Georgie Sheldon, and Mrs. George Sheldon Downs.

Born on June 5, 1843, she became known for fast-moving stories full of romance, secrets, and dramatic turns, the kind of fiction that was hugely popular with general readers of her time. Her work appeared in the lively world of late-19th-century popular publishing, where serialized and inexpensive fiction helped authors reach a very large audience.

Reliable sources found in this search confirm her identity, dates, and pen names, but I couldn't confirm a suitable verified portrait image from the pages available here. Because of that, the profile image is left blank rather than guessing.
