Jacqueline Jill Collins, best known by her stage name Jackie Collins, was a renowned English romance novelist and actress. She has published 32 novels, and all of them have been on The New York Times list of best-sellers. Jackie’s eight novels have been adapted for film and television, and she has written screenplays for a number of these adaptations.

Prior to becoming a best-selling author, Collins focused on her personal life and its difficulties. She became a single mother following a brief marriage. Her second spouse, Oscar Lerman, inspired her to complete and publish her debut novel. William H. Allen & Company published her first novel, The World Is Full of Married Men, in 1968.

The story is set in London during the swinging sixties and features detailed details of the protagonists’ sexual experiences, from their first meeting through their marriage and divorce. Due to its graphic nature and strong language, it was banned in Australia and South Africa, but the restrictions abroad boosted the book’s sales in the United Kingdom. Due of the detailed descriptions of sex, she sent a copy to her father, who could only read a few pages.
