WENDY BRENNAN: 1940â2020
The English writer Angela Carter said that no one wrote Mills & Boon novels without putting their hearts and souls into it. Such books, she said, were only written by women of formidable intelligence. These words could be used to describe the author Wendy Brennan who has died aged 80. Writing under her pseudonym Emma Darcy she was Australiaâs bestselling romantic novelist. Both prolific and successful, she wrote 106 romance novels for Mills & Boon, firstly in partnership with her beloved husband Frank, and then, after his death in 1995, on her own.
