Danielle Steel, America's sweetheart, is one of the hardest working woman in the book business. Unlike
other productive authors who write one book at a time, she can work on up to five. Her research before
writing takes at least three years. Once she has fully studied her subjects, ready to dive into the book, she
can spend twenty hours nonstop at her desk.
Danielle 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 1998 book about the death of her work
shot to the top of the New York Times best-selling list as soon as it came out. Twenty-eight of her books
had been made into films. She is listed in the Guinness Book 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. Danielle Steel
considers her readers to be the most important resource (资源) and has kept in touch with them by e-mail.
While she is often compared to the heroines (女主人公) of her own invention, her life is undoubtedly much
quieter. But, if she does have anything in common with them, it is her strength of will and her inimitable (独
特的) style. There is only one Danielle Steel.
