Louis Tracy

Louis Tracy (1863–1928) was a British journalist, and prolific writer of fiction.

He used the pseudonyms Gordon Holmes and Robert Fraser, which were at times shared with M. P. Shiel, a collaborator from the start of the twentieth century.

At first he was educated at home and then at the French Seminary at Douai.

Around 1884 he became a reporter for a local paper, The Northern Echo at Darlington, circulating in parts of Durham and North Yorkshire; later he worked for papers in Cardiff and Allahabad.

During 1892–1894 he was closely associated with Arthur Harmsworth, in The Sun and The Evening News and Post.
