Page history last edited by Juergen Lull 15 years, 2 months ago

Diplomat (1897-1967), pseudonym of John Franklin Carter; other pseudonym Jay Franklin. John Franklin Carter was an American journalist, columnist, biographer and novelist. He notably wrote the syndicated column, "We the People", under his pen name Jay Franklin. He wrote over 30 books on a variety of subjects including his detective novels about the character Dennis Tyler. In his column, he was notably one of the few who predicted Truman's victory in the 1948 presidential election.

Carter was born in Fall River, Massachusetts on April 27, 1897 as one of seven children of Rev. John Franklin Carter. He attended Yale University, but left early to become a representative of the Williamstown Institute of Politics in Italy. He went on to become the Rome correspondent for the London Daily Chronicle and the New York Times. In 1928, he began working for the State Department as an economic specialist. He then became a correspondent for the magazines Liberty and Vanity Fair. His syndicated column, "We, The People," was written from 1936 to 1948 under his pen name Jay Franklin, chronicling the Roosevelt and Truman Administrations. He worked as a speech writer for Harry S. Truman in 1938. Carter died in Washington, D.C., on November 28, 1967 at the age of 70.

From Wikipedia

 

Carter's seven detective novels were written under the pseudonym 'Diplomat' and have, as the name suggests, a diplomatic setting. The series character is the detective-diplomat Dennis Tyler.
