About the author

Rose Kirkpatrick Weekes (1874–1956) was a British novelist who published as R. K. Weekes. Surviving catalog and library records connect her with novels including Convict B 14 and Love in Chief, and Project Gutenberg lists her among authors whose work has entered the public domain.

She is also linked with her sister Agnes Russell Weekes, who wrote as A. R. Weekes and under the pseudonym Anthony Pryde. Reference and catalog sources show the two sisters collaborated on some fiction, placing Rose Weekes within the world of early 20th-century popular and Edwardian-era storytelling.

Very little easily verified biographical detail about her life now appears in widely available online sources, but her books suggest a writer interested in character, romance, and dramatic situations. That slight air of mystery only adds to the appeal for readers who enjoy rediscovering overlooked authors from the period.
