James Morgan Walsh (J. M. Walsh) was an Australian novelist who was born in Geelong, Victoria in 1897.[1] He published his first novel in 1921, and encouraged by its success, became a full-time writer in 1923.
He married Louisa Mary Murphy on 1 January 1925, and later that year the couple settled in the United Kingdom. Walsh was to remain there until his death in 1952 in Western-Super-Mare, Somerset, England.[1]
Walsh was a very prolific writer, producing around 94 novels, across a range of genres (mystery, crime, war, thriller, adventure and science fiction) under a number of pseudonyms.[2]
In addition to his novels Walsh also wrote a number of short stories, and books for children.[2]
From 1938 Walsh lived at Weston-super-Mare, Somerset, where he died on 29 August 1952.[1]
