Mary Helena Fortune (circa 1833 – circa 1910) was an Australian mystery, suspense, and horror writer who wrote under the pseudonyms “Waif Wander” and “W.W.” She was one of the earliest female detective writers in the world (if not the earliest). She was also probably the first to write from the viewpoint of the detective. A prolific storyteller, she wrote at least 500 detective stories over 40 years, many featuring Detective Mark Sinclair.
