Biography
Steel started writing stories as a child and by her late teens had begun writing poetry.
In addition to her novels for adults, Steel has written the "Max and Martha" series of books for young readers. Steel has published a book of poetry and has also written two non-fiction books:
Having a Baby and His Bright Light (the latter focusing on the life and death of her son Nicholas Traina).
As a result of her own dysfunctional family, Steel maintains a strong interest in the well-being of children and has raised nine of her own.
She married for the fourth time to John Traina, who already had two sons of his own. With John Traina, Steel gave birth to four daughters and a son, but that marriage also ended in divorce.
In 2002 the French government decorated Danielle Steel as a "Chevalier" of the distinguished Order of Arts and Letters for her lifetime contribution to world culture.
