About the author

Published under the name Mrs. J. M. Simpson and also associated with the name Annie Ashmore, this author is best known today for Faithful Margaret: A Novel. The book was originally issued in the late 1800s and has remained accessible through public-domain collections, which suggests it continued to attract readers long after its first appearance.

Faithful Margaret is a Victorian-style domestic novel centered on duty, endurance, and complicated family relationships. Its survival in Project Gutenberg and other library-style catalogs has helped keep the author's work in circulation even though reliable personal details about her life are scarce.

Because confirmed biographical information is limited, it is safest to remember her through the fiction itself: a story shaped by strong feeling, moral conflict, and the kind of steady, character-driven storytelling many listeners enjoy in classic audiobooks.
