A dyslexic, she didn't learn to read until she was eight years old, when her father taught her. Thereafter she read insatiably.

Added DiffLines:
Owing to changes in the publishing industry in the 1990s, her work fell out of favor precisely because she was incredibly prolific and changed her subject matter and even her subgenre often. Publishers wanted authors to stick with one style, one genre, create an image and produce that way all the time. She continued to write, but had to store all her manuscripts because nobody wanted them. She was helped by the small press movement and the resolution of a court fight over some of her rights. At the end, she was working on a "Colouring Book" series, contemporary Gothic tales.
Added DiffLines:
Her handwriting was almost illegible and she joked it would prove she was a "maniac".
In 2010, she revealed that she had been treated for breast cancer. On May 24, 2015, she died in her sleep. She was 67.
