Overview: Booth is not well remembered today. Information on his life is hard to find, and some of the information available online is wrong—such as that Booth was a pseudonym of Isabel Ostrander (another pulp writer, with whom Booth sometimes collaborated). But he had a prolific career that began in 1920 and pretty much ended by the late 1930s. Over that almost 20-year period, he published more than a hundred stories—and not just mysteries, but also westerns and even some mainstream stories. But as of 1940, he seems to abruptly left writing, since only a couple more stories appeared after that date.
