Kathleen Woodiwiss passed away on July 6th in her hometown of Princeton, Minnesota. She’d been battling cancer for some time and that struggle intensified with the death of her son, Dorren, on June 17th. Unlike a lot of romance writers, I didn’t discover Kathleen’s work until adulthood, but I remember finishing THE FLAME AND THE FLOWER like it was yesterday. Her books touched so many of us in such varied ways, as readers, writers, women, lovers, and people.
My thoughts and prayers go out to the Woodiwiss family. May they have an inkling of the impact Kathleen’s life has had on this world.
Do you remember your first Woodiwiss novel?
