[edit] Biography

Steel started writing stories as a child and by her late teens had begun writing poetry. A graduate of the Lycée Français de New York, class of 1965, she went on to study at New York University and in Europe. At age nineteen, she completed her first novel but remained unpublished until 1973.

In addition to her novels for adults, Steel has written the "Max and Martha" series of books for young readers. She has also written four "Freddie" books about real-life situations in children's lives, like the first night away from home. 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).

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.[citation needed]

In 2003 Steel opened an art gallery in San Francisco, where she lives, to exhibit the paintings and sculptures of emerging artists. She also maintains a residence in France where she spends several months of each year. She is of German, Jewish, and Portuguese heritage.[citation needed]
