Books in Order: The Literary Journey of Kathleen E. Woodiwiss
The Life and Times of Author Kathleen E. Woodiwiss
Best known for her poignant historical romance novels, American author Kathleen Woodiwiss (1939-2007) made significant strides within the literary scene. Despite initial disappointments, Kathleen’s relentless pursuit of her passion for writing was the catalyst behind her eventual success. Grappling with handwritten manuscripts and consistent failures, it wasn’t until the arrival of an electric typewriter in her life that her journey truly began. While traditional hardcover publishers shied away from her 600-page manuscripts, her steamy narratives found a comfortable place in the realm of paperback literature. These novels shed light on intense and monogamous relationships unfurling in historical backdrops.
Featuring a Unique Writing Style
Kathleen’s unique writing style was beautifully showcased in her debut novel The Flame and the Flower, published in 1972. This marked the beginning of her renowned Birmingham Family Saga series. Up until her death in 2007, she composed an oeuvre of enduring classics, concluding with her appropriately named final novel, Everlasting.
