Farnol (he spelled his first name oddly; I will try to remember to unbox one of his books to check the spelling later) Geoffrey, Jeffry, Jeffery?
Anyway, he was one of many in the long line of Silver Fork novelists who strayed more toward adventure, in the Bulwer-Lytton school. He obviously had a tremendous influence on Heyer, as you see not only plot elements but regional speech patterns in certain kinds of characters, etc, in her earlier work especially. He had a long career, publishing around the turn of the century or World War One, and steadily from there.
