She wrote about 350 books, more than 200 of them under her own name, and others using the pseudonyms H. F. E., Cecil Adair, E. Ward and Evelyn Dare. In 1880 Tom Tempest's Victory became her first published work, under the pseudonym H. F. E.

Many of her books followed values and themes learnt during her Methodist upbringing.
