V.C. Andrews - ?

Since I was a little kid, probably about eleven or twelve, I have been reading V.C. Andrews books. These books are all very good and I love the way they are written. The characters in her books are mostly young women between the ages of sixteen and twenty five. These women usually go through something traumatic and they end up falling in love with their brother. They are generally richer white women with daddy issues. I think V.C. Andrews was a very disturbed woman. All of the books have very easy to guess plot lines, but they’re a good read when you’re laying on the beach..


People who read the types of books Andrews writes are mostly women who like a good thriller that has a sexy edge. They’re very easy reading and a lot of them have quite a bit of suspense.



My only problem with her books, is that V.C. Andrews A.K.A. Cleo Virgina Andrews has been dead since December 19, 1986. So how is it that she has been writing books every year since then? I am currently reading one of her new releases. I just don’t understand. Her family is making all of the profits from her books still and she isn’t even writing these books. Nobody knows who has been writing these books - the author and writing style, even the plot lines are exactly how Andrews wrote for 15 years before her death. But no credit is ever given to the current author of these books. I don’t think it’s right that someone is using her name for their own fame - they’re probably not even making very much money off of it, because she is gaining all the credit. But that won’t stop this copy cat author from making more books and money off of her legacy. I suppose it doesn’t really matter though - her family has no complaints, they’re still making money. And the author clearly isn’t doing too bad, they’ve been faking it for over 20 years. So as long as everyone is happy it shouldn’t concern me or any other readers, because the books are still good, no loss of quality or frequency has occurred.
