In memory of Constance Gluyas

[reviews_and_ramblings]

"I read a couple of her books when I was a kid, and in fact one of her books, Rogue's Mistress, was one of the first two historical romances I ever read. I never knew anything about Gluyas as a person, though.

I remember being pleasantly surprised to see that she had an inter-racial romance in... I think it was Savage Eden. At any rate, it was the sequel to Rogue's Mistress, where a black man and a white woman were lovers. They were secondary characters, and they both ended up dead :P but it was rare to see that at all back in the seventies.

I'm afraid I never knew any biographical info about the writer, I was only twelve when I first read her and wasn't paying attention to that sort of thing." (Angela Benedetti has been writing since she was a kid. Her romance addiction started when her mom began loaning her historicals when she was twelve — first Rogue’s Mistress by Constance Gluyas, followed shortly by Johanna Lindsey’s Captive Bride.)

I knew her stuff wasn't that good even when I was a teen, but she was one of my favs. But all that flogging!!

She seemed almost all forgotten, on the web you can find any info about her personal life, but if you talk to who reads her books, they all like her style. Elisa
