Danielle Steel

She is the queen of romantic fiction, but parts of her real-life story could have been made into a movie. She had a lonely childhood, multiple miscarriages, marriages to not one but two convicted felons - one of which she met and married in prison, and she tragically lost her son to suicide. Her professional story, though, has been one of unprecedented success. From an education in New York and Europe and a background in public relations and advertising, Ms. Steel turned to writing in the early `70s. She wrote her first book at twenty; her fourth was a bestseller, and she has been a fixture on bestseller lists ever since.
