D.E. (Dorothy Emily) Stevenson wurde 1892 in Edinburgh geboren. Sie stammte aus einer berühmten Familie von Leuchtturmbesitzern, zu der auch Robert Louis Stevenson zählte – der Autor der »Schatzinsel« war ein Cousin ihres Vaters. 1916 heiratete D.E. Stevenson und bekam später mit ihrem Mann zwei Kinder. 1923 erschien ihr erster Roman. »Stich ins Wespennest« wurde 1934 veröffentlicht, und von nun an schrieb Stevenson jedes Jahr einen Roman. »Meine Bücher sind meine Leuchttürme«, pflegte sie zu sagen. In Großbritannien und den USA erreichten ihre Romane Millionenauflagen. D.E. Stevenson starb 1973 in Moffat, Schottland.
