Writers and Poets

Jackie Collins was an English romance novelist and actress. who wrote 32 novels - all of which appeared on The New York Times bestsellers list. Success came early for Jackie when, at the age of 18, she published her first novel, "The World is Full of Married Men." Upon release the romantic novelist Barbara Cartland called the book "nasty, filthy and disgusting" and charged Collins with "creating every pervert in Britain". The book was banned in Australia and South Africa, however the scandal bolstered sales in the United States and the UK thrusting the book into a top seller. All in all her books have sold more than 500 million copies and have been translated into 40 languages. Eight of her novels have been adapted for the screen, either as films or television miniseries. And in case you didn't know it - she was the younger sister of actress Dame Joan Collins.
