I was out so sad to hear the news of Whitney Houston's death.  Her first album was the first album I ever bought with my own money.  It was Christmas gift money, but still.  I played it non-stop, and I thought that she was the greatest singer ever.  I was 7, so I could be forgiven my hero worship, but even as an adult I found her voice incredible.  It's so sad that talented people with the full backing of their families and friends can be dragged down by addiction and personal demons.  I wish she'd been able to overcome and stage the comeback that seemed to be in the offing.  I hope she's found peace.

The first romance novelist I ever read, I have followed her books since middle school.  Her amazing attention to detail, and original plots in a genre where originality is so often lacking, will be missed.  Ms. Woodiwiss passed away this past Thursday.

If you've never read her work, I recommend picking up 'A Rose in Winter' and/or 'Shanna'.
