Jackie Collins.

I read my first Jackie Collins novel when i was about 14 and i loved it.
I love how she writes strong, female characters. I know a lot of people think that her book's are tacky, but reading her book's are pure escapism and that's why i like to read.
To relax and take my mind off the world for a while.
After reading a couple of her book's i was inspired to write a short story, then another and another, and that is why Jackie Collins is my favourite author.
