A versatile and prolific author, Josephine Lawrence began her career in journalism,
soon branched out to
ghostwrite girls' and tots' series under her own name
and pseudonymously, then went on to earn national recognition for
her adult fiction. When she died in 1978, she had written 33
adult novels and approximately 100 children's books. Despite
Lawrence's many
publications, biographical information about her remains sparse,
scattered among a number of brief articles and reviews of her books.
This webpage attempts to remedy that lack of information by providing
a detailed bio-bibliography of a noteworthy -- and too often
overlooked -- woman writer.
