Rowland Wright

Rowland Wright was a pseudonym used by Carolyn Wells, an American writer best known for her enormous range and steady productivity. Reliable library and reference sources identify Rowland Wright as one of the names under which Wells published, rather than a separate author.

Wells wrote across several genres, including detective fiction, humorous writing, verse, and books for younger readers. Britannica describes her as a prolific American writer remembered especially for mysteries, children's books, and humorous verse, while Project Gutenberg and bibliographic sources connect the Rowland Wright name to that broader body of work.

For audiobook listeners, the Rowland Wright byline is most closely tied to The Disappearance of Kimball Webb, a mystery novel now in the public domain. So although the cover may present Rowland Wright as the author, the voice behind the book is Carolyn Wells, a versatile and popular figure in early 20th-century American literature.
