V.C. Andrews was born in 1924 in Portsmouth, Virginia. She was one of three children.

In her late teens, a fall down a flight of stairs tore a membrane and led to bone spurs. The fall combined with bothced orthopedic surgery, would lead to her ultimate dependence on a wheel chair later in life.

After her father's death in the late 1960's, her family moved to Manchester, Missouri. It was then that she began to devote all of her time to writing, which produced her first novel, "The Godds Of The Green Mountain.

Seven years later she sold Flowers In The Attic. V.C. went on to write several more books to that series including: Garden of Shadows, Petals on the Wind, If there be Thorns and Seeds of Yesterday. She continued her storywriting with The Casteel Series, and in the middle of them she became ill. She worked on writing notes for her additional novels which a carefully selected author Andrew Neiderman took over. V.C. went to live with her mother in Virginia Beach, Virginia. She died in December of 1986. She was 62 years old.
