Edward Stratemeyer was a publishing genius. Born in Elizabeth, New Jersey, he began writing juvenile fiction shortly after graduating from high school. He wrote using many pseudonyms. He began the Stratemeyer Literary Syndicate in 1905. His greatest wish was to be a "writer of pocket not" unlike of Horatio Alger.

The business acumen helped aa Stratemeyer find a niche market, children's books. But, not as children's books before. He began a series of books called The Rover Boys produced several books in this series at once (called farmers). These books were written under a pseudonym. Why? Stratemeyer knew it was going to die someday, but other authors using the same pseudonym could continue the series and live. So names like Carolyn Keene and Franklin W. Dixon.

Another step was the genius who made the books seem to books that adults read. He tied and used books the same font as books for adult readers. These books would not be long and tedious and chapters end with a cliff a little hook (not too different from each segment of the television drama Alias ago today). With these innovations The Rover Boys was an overwhelming success.

What next? Of course, other series came as the Bobbsey twins which appeared in 1904 and Tom Swift in 1910, The Hardy Boys and Nancy in 1927 Drew in 1930. The last two series to survive until today. Stratemeyer died in 1930. He left his publishing house to his two daughters, one of which took business and more series began after his father's model.

One of the little-known pseudonyms Stratemeyer Syndicate was Chester K. Steele. This pseudonym was used for a mystery book series aimed at older audiences. The first book was The Mansion of Mystery and written by Stratemeyer himself while others in the series were all ghost writer.

One of these books is The golf course mystery (1919) is one of six of these mysteries. This novel in the public domain and can be read in Vintage Literature (target = "newwindow"> http://www.vintageliterature.com)
