Jackie Collins is one of the world’s top-selling novelists. With over 500 million copies of her books sold in more than 40 countries and 32 New York Times bestsellers to her credit, she is known for giving her readers an unrivaled insider’s knowledge of Hollywood and the glamorous lives (and loves) of the rich, famous, and infamous!
“I write about real people in disguise,” she once said. “If anything, my characters are toned down – the truth is much more bizarre!”
Jackie died of breast cancer on September 19th 2015, six years after being given a stage 4 diagnosis, which she chose to keep private until the final weeks of her life.
She believed in the power of positive thinking and during that six years continued to write five more books and traveled the world on yearly book tours. Her last novel, “The Santangelos”, the thrilling final installment in the epic nine book series, was released in 2015, just weeks before her death.
Jackie Collins was a creative force, a mentor and trailblazer in fiction, and an inspiration to all who knew her, in addition to the millions of readers whose lives she enriched through her novels for over four decades.
In her last interview before her death, Jackie said “I want people to see me as an example of strength – and doing things my way…”
I have lots of her books in my kitty. Plus, I've read virtually all her books. Lucky Santangelo's a favorite character that I dig so much...
Rest in peace, JACKIE COLLINS.
