They waste no time getting to know each other. In one scene Erienne waits at home to receive “yet another unwelcome suitor” as “the roiling chaos of dark clouds” churn overhead, Woodiwiss wrote.įinally, Erienne does meet a man she finds irresistible, the dashing Christopher Seton. She is the leading lady in “A Rose in Winter” (1982), which was excerpted in Good Housekeeping magazine. One of Woodiwiss’ typical heroines, Erienne Fleming, is beautiful, kind and adventuresome. “I write love stories, with a little spice.” “I’m insulted when my books are called erotic,” Woodiwiss said in a 1978 interview with Cosmopolitan magazine. She set her dramas against Medieval England, colonial America and other familiar backgrounds and wrote sex scenes in such complete detail that she became known as a pioneer of the “erotic historical” novel. A number of Woodiwiss’ titles, including “Ashes in the Wind” (1979), raced to the top of the New York Times paperback bestsellers list.
