A. S. M Hutchinson was editor of the London illustrated newspaper, The Daily Graphic. He wrote romance and family novels as well as short stories for publications such The Sphere Magazine. His best-selling novel, If Winter Comes, was in many aspects ahead of its time, dealing with an unhappy marriage, eventual divorce, and an unwed mother who commits suicide. According to The New York Times, If Winter Comes was the best-selling book in the United States for all of 1922.[4] If Winter Comes was so popular that clergymen gave sermons on the plight of the novel's hero, Mark Sabre.[5] The following year, Fox Film Corporation made it into a motion picture of the same name directed by Harry F. Millarde.
