From 1896 Sinclair, motivated by the need to support herself and her mother, wrote professionally. Her 1913 novel, 'The Combined Maze', was highly praised by George Orwell, whilst Agatha Christie regarded it as, 'one of the greatest English novels of its time'. Her work was also well received in the United States of America. She wrote two volumes of supernatural fiction, 'Uncanny Stories' and, 'The Intercessor and Other Stories' both of which are included in this Leonaur collection. Several authorities on the supernatural genre have praised the quality of Sinclair's work, with regrets only about the modest number of such stories she wrote.
