Cleo Virginia Andrews (June 6, 1923 December 19, 1986), better known as V. C. Andrews or Virginia C. Andrews, was an American novelist. She was born in Portsmouth, Virginia, and died of breast cancer at the age of 63.
Andrews' novels combine Gothic horror and family saga, revolving around family secrets and forbidden love (frequently involving themes of consensual incest, most often between siblings), and they often include a rags-to-riches story. Her most well-known novel is the infamous bestseller Flowers in the Attic (1979), a tale of four children locked in the attic of a wealthy Virginia family by their estranged religious grandmother for over three years.
Her novels were so successful that after her death her estate hired a ghost writer Andrew Neiderman, to write more stories to be published under her name. In assessing a deficiency in Andrews' estate tax returns, the Internal Revenue Service argued (successfully) that Andrews' name was a valuable commercial asset, the value of which should be included in her gross estate.
Her novels have been translated into French, Italian, German, Spanish, Dutch, Japanese, Korean, Turkish, Greek, Finnish, Swedish, Portuguese and Hebrew.

Reviews of Flowers In The Attic by Virginia Andrews
Flowers In The Attic  
Reviewed by Anonymous, 22/02/2011 Don't let the age of Andrews' novels fool you. Her family dramas provide captivating portraits of scandalous lives, with this particular novel leaving you to marvel at the flexibility and dexterity of the human spirit. The first novel that I was unable to put down for a long time, it can at times be shocking, so may not be for the faint-hearted. However, you will not be disappointed if you are looking for a fascinating plot.
