Anna McClure Sholl was born on March 17, 1868 in Philadelphia, daughter of William J. Sholl and Clara Corson Sholl.[1] She attended Cornell University and began her writing career at the New York Commercial Advertiser in 1896. Sholl wrote in a wide variety of genres: poetry, short stories, magazine articles, book reviews, fairy tales, and mystery novels. She converted to Catholicism in 1916 and some of her work is about religious subjects.[2]
Her short story "The Black Roses" was published in The Black Cat in March 1904. Compared to "Rappaccini's Daughter", the story concerns a scientist who uses his laboratory to subject roses to poisons which turn the flowers black.[3]
Anna McClure Sholl died on April 1, 1956 in New York City.[4][5]
