He was born in London, Ontario, in 1876. He studied in the University of Toronto from 1893 to 1897 but did not graduate.[2] He worked as a journalist in Toronto but soon moved to the United States when his detective stories became popular in American magazines.[3] He also wrote for political and sociological journals. He then began writing longer works of fiction, and then works on social questions with various specialists as collaborators: Ben B. Lindsey (The Beast and The Doughboy's Religion), Harriet Ford (On the Hiring Line), Frank J. Cannon (Under the Prophet in Utah), Edward H. Reade (psychoanalysis of prominent figures). He was led to psychoanalysis by personal illness, and utilized it in some literary efforts. He then moved on to do some literary works centered on women. He developed several plays, sometimes in collaboration with others.[1]
