Emilie Kip Loring was an American romance novelist whose literary career began relatively late in life. Born in 1866, she did not publish her first work until 1914, when she was fifty years old. Despite this late start, she maintained a highly productive writing career that spanned nearly four decades, continuing to write up until her death in 1951 following a long illness. Following her passing, Loring's literary legacy was carried on by her sons, Selden M. and Robert M. Loring, who managed her estate. Upon discovering a vast collection of unfinished manuscripts and draft material left behind by their mother, they oversaw the publication of twenty additional novels under her name. These posthumous works, published between 1951 and 1972, were ghostwritten by Elinore Denniston based on Loring's archival materials.
