Bio:
Caroline Emily Sharp was born in 1844 to a wealthy London family. At the age of six, she was sent to Paris to begin her education. Caroline knew at an early age that she wanted to become a writer, but her parents discouraged it.
She married Henry Lovett Cameron, a parliamentary agent to the Treasury, in 1867, and the couple had two children. It was her husband who encouraged her to begin writing, and she published her first novel, Juliet's Guardian, in 1877, achieving moderate success with it.
She published over forty novels in all between 1877 and 1905, some of which had great success. Her most popular novel was In a Grass County, which went to nine editions. Her novels were all published under the name "Mrs. Lovett Cameron".
Emily was one of the contributors to the unusual work The Fate of Fenella, a three volume novel created without collaboration by twenty-four authors, including Bram Stoker and Arthur Conan Doyle.
She published her last novel, Rosamond Grant in 1905. She died at her home sixteen years later in 1921.
