Catherine Anne Hubback
She began writing fiction to support her family after her husband was institutionalized with a breakdown. She had copies of some of the unfinished works of her aunt, Jane Austen, and, in 1850, remembering Austen's proposed plot, she wrote The Younger Sister, a completion of Jane Austen's The Watsons. In the next thirteen years, she completed nine more novels, including The Wife's Sister and The Rival Suitors.
She emigrated to California, USA in 1870 and died there in 1877. Her novels, which enjoyed some popularity in their time, are seldom read in this era and are difficult to obtain. Her most important contribution is to literary history where she, and later family, perpetuated Austen family history.
