Denielle Steel, America's sweetheart, is one of the hardest working women in the book business. Unlike other productive authors who write one book at a time, she can work on up to five.

Denielle Steel comes from New York and was sent to France for her education. After graduation, she worked in the public relations and advertising industries. Later she started a job as a writer which she was best fit for. Her achievements are unbelievable, 390 million copies of books in print, nearly fifty New York Times best-selling novels, and a series of “Max and Martha" picture books for children to help them deal with the real-life problem of death, new babies and new schools. Her book published in 1998 about the death of her was shot to the top of the New York Times best-selling list as soon as it came out. Twenty-eight of her books have been made into films. She is listed in the Guinness Books of World Records for one of her books being the Times best-seller for 381 weeks straight.

Not content with a big house, a loving family, and a view of the Golden Gate Bridge, Denielle Steel considers her readers to be the most important resource and has kept in touch with them by-email. While she is often compared to the heroines of her own invention, her life is undoubtedly much quieter.
