About the author
Born Susan Morrow in Halifax, Nova Scotia, she is identified in reliable reference sources as a Canadian novelist who lived from 1864 to 1926. She also published as S. Carleton and Helen Milecete, and some records list her as Susan Carleton Jones after her marriage to Guy Carleton Jones.
Her fiction career stretched across the late Victorian and early twentieth-century years. Reference listings credit her with novels including A Girl of the North (1900), The Lame Priest (1901), The Sound of the Axe (1902), The Career of Mrs Osborne (1903), A Detached Pirate (1903), The Micmac (1904), The Tall Man (1907), Out of Drowning Valley (1909), The Girl at Shining Tree (1910), Lally of the Outlaws (1911), The La Chance Mine Mystery (1920), and The Forest Runner (1925).
Modern library and book records suggest she is best remembered today for adventurous, readable fiction with Canadian settings and for the way she moved between genres. Project Gutenberg currently lists A Girl of the North and The La Chance Mine Mystery among the works still easily found by new readers.
