Lynness- FYI on Baroness Emmuska Orczy

I was curious enough to look up why she turned to writing and it turns
out that they did have very little money, so she wrote to support her
family.
Her parents were Hungarian, and left the country during a peasant
revolt. She lived in several places but eventually London, where she
met her husband in a school of art. He was an illustrator and the son
of a clergyman: i.e.- not much money. So she wrote. She eventually
made enough money writing that they were eventually able to buy an
estate in Monte Carlo.
Anyway, just thought I'd share...
