A failed actress, she became a reporter for The Boston Post and later for the Philadelphia Bulletin. She also started writing short stories. In 1904, she moved to Cody, Wyoming to write a feature article about the Blackfoot Indians, and settled there. She started writing novels and her second novel, The Lady Doc, was based on life in Cody. In 1918-1919, she lived in Denver, Colorado and worked as a reporter for The Denver Post.
