By the end of the 19th century she was contributing short stories to various British and American publications, such as Pall Mall Magazine, Blackwood"s Edinburgh Magazine, Harper"s Magazine, Windsor Magazine and others The suit went undefended. Thurston "complained that she was making more money by her books than he was, that her personality dominated his, and had said that he wanted to leave her." Her best-known work was a political thriller entitled John Chilcote, Member of Parliament (as The Masquerader in the United States), published in 1904 and on the New York Times bestseller list for two years, ranking as third best-selling book for 1904 and seventh best in 1905.
Her next book, The Gambler, came out in 1905 and it too made the United States best-selling lists for that year.
This was the first time the New York Times had recorded any author, female or male, as having two top-ten books in a single year. In 1910, she was back on the same list at Number.
John Chilcote, Member of Parliament was adapted for the stage by John Hunter Booth and opened on Broadway in 1917. lieutenant was filmed four times, the first silent film by American Pathé in 1912 under the title The Compact and starring Crane Wilbur.
The second a 1920 Russian/French co-production entitled Chlen parlamenta.
Two more films were made using the American book title The Masquerader, in 1922 and then by the Samuel Goldwyn Company in 1933 as a "talkie" starring Ronald Colman.

The official enquiry on 6 September 1911 gave the cause of death as asphyxia as result of a seizure.
