Danielle Steel

Image
  Danielle Steel is the fourth-best-selling fiction author of all time! It is estimated 800 million copies of her work has been sold!  I’ve written 161 books (I’m published in 69 countries and 43 languages), which seems like a lot, even to me. I publish six books a year (7 this year), and work on several at the same time. Sometimes I work on five books at the same time. It sounds crazy, but it works for me, like an artist who has several painting in progress. It’s a juggling act, but I love it. And I try to keep the books different, so I do historicals and books with contemporary themes, books that deal with problems or tragedies and what that does to people’s lives. The books are set in industries or particular settings. I learn a lot when I write them. I also write happy or fun books. Sometimes I laugh out loud when I’m writing, or cry when I’m writing a sad part. If you laugh or cry when you’re reading them, you can bet that I did too when I wrote them. I’ve also wri...

And it’s a plan for how, if we keep our heads, we might just be able to flip the script and arrive at a radically better future.” –From the Introduction

Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your...
