Several seem to have been published on Amazon, including a nine book omnibus: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07DRPC533

I haven't found any copies available for free download, although they're clearly out of copyright in the UK and EU, and probably their copyright wasn't renewed in the USA, so might be out of copyright there too.

Looking on AbeBooks, they have only three second hand books (total!), the cheapest of which is £75.

There don't seem to be any of her works at argive.org.

I suggest getting the copies off Amazon, although I suspect they'll need a bit of cleaning up, which will be difficult without any original scans. But who knows - perhaps they're good copies.
