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.)
