Edith Maude Hull Bio/Wiki, Net Worth, Married 2018
E. M. Hull (also reedited as Edith M. Hull), was the pseudonym of Edith Maude Winstanley Hull, née Henderson (b. 16 August 1880 – d. 11 February 1947) was a British writer of 8 romance novels from 1919 to 1939, best known for being the author of the novel The Sheik which became an international best seller in 1921. This novel is credited with starting the hugely popular "desert-romance" genre. Hull followed The Sheik with subsequent novels The Shadow of the East, The Desert Healer, and The Sons of the Sheik.
Started writing during during her husband's wartime absence and in 1919 published her most famous novel, "The Sheik", which was subsequently filmed (The Sheik (1922)) with Rudolph Valentino. Her predilection for desert romances may have been the result of childhood travels in Algeria.
