The Romance world has lost one of the greats. Julie Garwood, renowned for her rich and layered historical romances and contemporary suspense books has passed at the age of 78.
I didn't start reading romance books until I was in my twenties. Mostly, I'd read fiction and historical fiction. It was my love of historical fiction that drove me to pick up a book titled Honor's Splendor in the late 1980s. From there, I discovered other historical romance authors. It was a short path to category romances. It opened up an entirely new world. I was hooked. I was a reader and bookseller for years before I became a writer. And it was Julie Garwood who opened that door for me. And I will forever be grateful.
RIP Julie Garwood. Your legacy will live forever.
