Author Information

"Luis Philip Senarens (April 24, 1863 - December 26, 1939) was an American dime novelist who specialized in science fiction and was dubbed ""the American Jules Verne"" at one point. enarens was raised in Brooklyn by a Cuban-American family. Senarens began writing new stories in the Frank Reade adventure story series, which Harry Enton began in 1868. Senarens introduced Frank Reade, Jr. as the new protagonist. Senarens incorporated features such as electricity, airships, and helicopters, earning him the moniker ""the American Jules Verne."" The novels were so popular that Senarens was requested by publisher Frank Tousey to produce a similar series starring Jack Wright, the ""Boy Inventor"" in the 1890s. Later in the decade, Tousey founded the Frank Reade Library, a publication devoted to ""invention"" stories written primarily (or entirely) by Senarens under the pen name Noname. Mike Ashley refers to him as ""the first prolific science fiction writer."" He would go on to write almost 300 penny novels. Senarens took over as editor of the Tousey detective story magazine, Mystery Magazine, in 1917. Kit Clyde, W. J. Earle, Police Captain Howard, Noname, and Ned Sparling were all pen names used by Senarens."
