About Cleo Virginia Andrews

Novelist Cleo Virginia Andrews was born on June 6, 1923 in Portsmouth, Virginia, United States (She dies at the age of 63, on December 19, 1986).

While her first book would remain unpublished until it was released posthumously in 2004 straight to e-book; her next attempt, which she reportedly banged out in just two weeks, would be the book that would launch her into the zeitgeist: a novel titled Flowers in the Attic. The novel was bout a group of children imprisoned in an attic for most of their childhood by their mother and grandmother and was the first representation of the genre most of her future novels would fit into. She mainly wrote stories that combined elements of Gothic horror with sagas of troubled families. Flowers in the Attic was published in 1979 and reached the top of bestseller lists before a month had past.
