About this author

edit data

She was born Kathleen Erin Hogg, the youngest of eight children of Charles Wingrove Hogg, a disabled World War I veteran, and his wife, in Alexandria, Louisiana. As a child, Kathleen Hogg relished creating her own stories, and by age six was telling herself stories at night to help fall asleep. Her father died suddenly when Woodiwiss was only twelve, leaving her to be raised by her mother and older sisters. Woodiwiss would later remark that, "every single one of us had minds of our own even then; I was no exception. I suppose that carried over into my creations of heroines who weren't weak-willed."
