HELENA SUMNER LOCKE was born in Sandgate, now a northen beach suburb of Brisbane, Queensland, in 1881. It was then a seaside village, some miles from the capital. In 1888 the Locke family moved to Melbourne.
She began publishing short stories in The Bulletin and The Native Companion. By 1906, she branched out into plays and novels. She had published 3 plays and 4 novels as well as over 100 short stories by her early death in 1917. She married Henry Elliott in January 1917, two weeks before he was posted to the front.
