Best Selling Author Jackie Collins Dies At 77.

One of my favorite authors, British-born writer, Jackie Collins whose 32 novels all made it onto the New York Times bestseller list, died in Los Angeles of breast cancer. She was aged 77.

The family announced her death saying:

“It is with tremendous sadness that we announce the death of our beautiful, dynamic and one of a kind mother, Jackie Collins, who died of breast cancer today,” her family said in a statement said.

“She lived a wonderfully full life and was adored by her family, friends and the millions of readers who she has been entertaining for over four decades.”

The statement concluded: “She was a true inspiration, a trailblazer for women in fiction and a creative force. She will live on through her characters but we already miss her beyond words.”

Collins was married twice and is survived by three daughters.

She will be missed.
