A Great Romance Writer Leaves Us

I've just heard from A Little Cheese with that Whine blog that Kathleen E. Woodiwiss passed away. I remember reading her stuff when I was just starting in the romance field. She was around for quite awhile and made a large impact with historical romance novels.

I browsed and found a link to her official site.

Here is a clip of the announcement from Harper Collins (Click on the link to read the full thing)

(1939 - 2007) Kathleen E. Woodiwiss, creator of the modern historical romance, died July 6, 2007 in Minnesota. She had just turned 68. Her attorney, William Messerlie, said that she died after a long illness.
