Florence Warden was an English actress and writer who published numerous novels under her stage name. Her real name was Florence Alice Price, and her marital name was Mrs G.E. James. Warden began her life as Florence Alice Price, the daughter of a stockbroker. She was born in Hanworth, Middlesex, and educated in both Brighton and France. In 1877, her debut novel, The Wolf at the Door, was published anonymously in Boston, Massachusetts. Warden worked as an actress between 1880 and 1885, and she also published stories and novels under her stage persona. In 1885, her mystery novel The House on the Marsh (1884) was adapted into a play in which she played the lead. Warden married an actor named George Edward James in 1887 in St Pancras.
