Cleo Virginia Andrews (June 6, 1923 – December 19, 1986), better known as V. C. Andrews or Virginia C. Andrews was an American author. 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 one a wealthy Virginia family by their estranged religious grandmother for four 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.
Her novels have been translated into French, Italian, German, Spanish, Japanese, Turkish, Greek, Finnish, Swedish and Hebrew.

[edit] Novels
Andrews' work is grouped into series of five books each. For the first five series, several common elements are evident. The first few books are about the main character, who is commonly a girl. The fourth is about that character's child or another family member, and the last is a prequel about their mother or grandmother, explaining how the events of the first book arose.
After the Logan series ended, Neiderman decided to try something different with the Orphans miniseries, and since then all the series that have come after no longer follow this formula.
