A bestselling author replies

Danielle Steel

Reference date: February 14th






I wrote to legendary author Danielle Steel, who has sold billions of copies of her novels all over the world, to let her know how much my family enjoyed her books, and to ask her for advice in navigating the world of show business. (Many of her novels have been adapted for films.) Her reply was short, and didn't directy answer my question, but I was happy that she took the time out of her busy schedule to write to me.

This is what she said in her email:

Dear Mr. Lucas,

Thank you for your message, Chris. It's wonderful to hear how much you and your family get out of my books, and to know they've inspired you.

While I could give advice about being a writer, I'm afraid I don't know enough about acting and drama to pass on useful words.

I do wish you the best in your career.

Danielle Steel


I immediately sent her a thank you.
