author
d. 1934
A little-known early 20th-century novelist and short-story writer, remembered today mainly through surviving editions of Dark Flame and the Project Gutenberg text of The Enchanted Kingdom. Writing under the name Nevis Shane, she left behind romantic fiction with a strong interest in love, temptation, and changing fortunes.

by Nevis Shane
Nevis Shane was a pen name used by Clara Josephine Morris, who is also identified in rare-book listings as Sonya Sherarer. The available records found online are sparse, but they consistently connect Nevis Shane with fiction published in the late 1920s and early 1930s.
Her known works include Dark Flame (published in 1930) and The Enchanted Kingdom, a romantic short work now available through Project Gutenberg. From those surviving publications, she appears to have written relationship-centered fiction with glamorous settings and emotional stakes.
Very little reliable biographical detail about her life seems to be readily available in major public reference sources, so much of her story remains obscure. What does survive is enough to show a writer whose work still attracts interest from collectors and digital readers of forgotten fiction.
