Believed to be a pseudonym for American author Josephine Chase (died 1931) penning the popular Grace Harlowe series of 27 books for girls, written between 1910 and 1924--many of them available through Project Gutenberg.
The books fall into four separate series, including a high school series, college series, Overseas series, and Overland Riders series. Grace is a role-model, already a "paragon when her story begins." Despite the popularity of these books and their continuing availability on the used market, there is almost no information available on-line about the author.
Josephine Chase (? -1931), also known as Capt. Gordon Bates; Jessie Graham Flower; Pauline Lester; Ames Thompson and Dale Wilkins, was an American prolific author who wrote with the pseudonym J. G. Flower Grace Harlowe's Plebe Year at High School (1910), Grace Harlowe's Sophomore Year at High School (1911), Grace Harlowe's Junior Year at High School (1911), Grace Harlowe's Senior Year at High School (1912), Grace Harlowe's First Year at Overton College (1914), Grace Harlowe's Second Year at Overton College (1914), Grace Harlowe's Third Year at Overton College (1914), Grace Harlowe's Fourth Year at Overton College (1914), Grace Harlowe's Return to Overton Campus (1915), Grace Harlowe's Problem (1916), Grace Harlowe's Golden Summer (1917), Grace Harlowe Overseas (1920), Grace Harlowe with the Red Cross in France (1920), Grace Harlowe with the Marines at Chateau Thierry (1920), Grace Harlowe's Overland Riders on the Great American Desert (1921), Grace Harlowe's Overland Riders on the Old Apache Trail (1921), Grace Harlowe's Overland Riders Among the Kentucky Mountaineers (1921) and Grace Harlowe's Overland Riders in the Great North Woods (1921).
Another delightful year in the life of Grace and friends. Follows the same lines as previous books, friends becoming enemies, enemies friends, and always the misunderstandings and moral overtones about how to act as a decent lady should. Still like them though :)
