Henry James O’Brien Bedford-Jones was born in Napanee, Ontario, Canada in 1887. After being encouraged to try writing by his friend, writer William Wallace Cook, Bedford-Jones began writing dime novels and pulp magazine stories. Bedford-Jones was an enormously prolific writer; the pulp editor Harold Hersey once recalled meeting Bedford-Jones in Paris, where he was working on two novels simultaneously, each story on its own separate typewriter.

Bedford-Jones wrote over 100 novels, earning him the nickname “King of the Pulps.”
