Julia Constance Fletcher was an author and playwright who professionally went by the pseudonym of George Fleming. She was born in Brazil in1853 and died in 1938. She went to Abbot Academy, located in Andover, Massachusetts, and was in the class of 1867.

Two of her books, Kismet and Mirage, were published as "no name novels" by Roberts Brothers in Boston. Both books deal with Americans' adventures while traveling abroad, along the Nile and in Syria, respectively. Mirage has been described by Oscar Wilde scholar S. I. Salamensky, as a roman-รก-clef fiction in which "a dangerously appealing, if slightly bi- or asexual, figure based on Wilde romantically pursues" a woman who is thought to represent Fletcher.
