I was just picking up the book “everlasting” to begin reading and was thinking about “a rose in winter”, which is my favorite book, and knowing I would enjoy this one as well. I saw Ms. Woodiwiss’ photo on the back cover and could not get over how stunning she was. I read the inside jacket and saw her email address, so I thought I would send her an email to let her know how much I enjoy her writings and to wish her well. I could not connect to the website so I googled her and was shocked to learn of her death several years ago.
I wish I could have told her how beautiful she was and how beautifully she wrote. I am sorry. You were lucky to have had her in your life.
Take care.

I would like to add my condolences to those of Ms. Woodiwiss’ other fans. No written word could ever adequately describe the enjoyment her readers derive from her books. The description of “Queen” of her genre is fitting, as no other books are comparable in their quality to her works. She is sorely missed by many, and will always possess immortality, as she continues to captivate and delight readers for a great number of future years. Please take comfort in the continued love of her multitude of fans.

To the family of Kathleen Woodiwiss. I am saddened to hear of her passing. I absolutely love her writing. I am currently attempting to purchase all of her books for my library. The one that I love the most, I thought I had and discovered it was missing. However, I will continue to search as she was such a wonderful author. Please accept my sincere and heartfelt condolences. She sounded like a wonderful mother and grandmother. I am sure that you all miss her very much.

I’m three years late, but my deepest condolences to your family for such a great loss.

I’m only 19 years old, but I’ve been reading Mrs. Woodiwiss’ novels for years. Her writing style and diction have been an inspiration to me in my college courses.

Your family will remain in my prayers.

I am very sorry to hear of the loss of Ms. Woodiwiss. She was a great author, and I have enjoyed many hours with her stories, and still do. She will be truly missed in the literary world, but she is on to be with the Lord. Again I am sorry for your loss, and may God bless and keep you always.

My condolences on the loss of your mother to cancer. I, too, lost my mother to a sad and tragic battle to cancer. My heart goes out to your family. When I was a teenager, my mother and I discovered our first Kathleen E. Woodiwiss novel – we used to take turns reading Kathleen’s books, always excited to read the next one we could find. She remains my favorite author to this day and I have read her book Shanna several times, always enjoying the read. I am saddened that I’ll have no new novels by Kathleen but I will continue to read the old ones every now and then, remembering the happiness her novels brought to my mother and I so long ago.

Feeling somewhat nostalgic as I look back… today’s historical romance novels could never “light a candle” to the wonderful imagination of Kathleen Woodiwiss. In my heart I know she satisfied the unspoken fantasies of many a woman of the 70’s and thereafter. The Wolf and the Dove was mine. Oh, yes, I smile now when I think back. The thrill that an author had actually captured the forbidden oh, so beautifully, in a published book. Thank you, K., for sharing.

I was saddened to hear of Kathleen’s death. I feel as I know her and that she’s family, all through the vivid books she wrote. Historial romance readers have lost a memorable presence. All of us will miss her.
