Autorenporträt
May Agnes Fleming was a Canadian author who lived from November 15, 1840, to March 24, 1880. She was known as "one of the first Canadians to pursue a highly successful career as a writer of popular fiction." The Colony of New Brunswick's May Agnes Early was born in Carleton, West Saint John. She was the daughter of Bernard and Mary Early. May Agnes started writing while she was still in school. In 1865, she married John W. Fleming, an engineer. Two years after her first book, Erminie; or The gypsy's vow: a tale of love and vengeance, came out in New York, she moved there. When she wrote for the New York Mercury and the New York Weekly, she used the name "Cousin May Carleton" to hide her identity. 21 were turned into books, and 7 were published after the author died. She wrote under the name "M.A. Earlie" as well. It's hard to say for sure how many books she wrote because they were often given different names, but it's thought to be around 40. Some of them weren't actually written by her; authors just made them sound like they were by her to make money off of her fame. At her best, companies gave her exclusive rights to her work, which helped her make over $10,000 a year.
