Autor

Vingie E. Roe was born Vingetta Elizabeth Roe on December 7, 1879, in Oxford, Kansas, to Maurice Pool Roe, a physician, and Clara Castanien Roe. She grew up in Oklahoma Territory and struggled with poor eyesight as a child, which kept her out of school. She briefly attended Oklahoma Agricultural and Mechanical College in 1902 before beginning her writing career. Roe published more than thirty novels, primarily Westerns, often featuring independent female characters and strong moral values. Her stories appeared in popular periodicals such as Sunset, McCall's, and Collier's from 1906 through the 1930s. She also wrote serialized fiction for newspapers and was noted for her firm stance on producing clean, respectable literature, claiming she never wrote a story involving crude sexual content. Her first novel, The Maid of the Whispering Hills, was published in 1912 and received early critical praise. Several of her works were adapted into silent films and one sound picture. She married Raymond C. Lawton in 1907, and after their divorce, she lived with her mother on Lost Valley Ranch in California. Roe remained active in writers' organizations and hosted women writers at her ranch. She died on August 13, 1958, at the age of 78.
