What’s not to like about Jackie Collins? The creator of the “dangerously beautiful” Lucky Santangelo writes novels filled with sex, glamour and drama like nobody else . . . and her latest Lucky novel—Goddess of Vengeance—is on sale tomorrow.
In an interview with BookPage, Collins told us about the “most Lucky-esque” moment of her life, her ideal desert-island companions and why she chose to set Goddess of Vengeance in Vegas. Here’s a preview:
How are you and Lucky alike?
Lucky is the woman I would like to be in another life. Who wouldn’t? She’s strong, sexy, powerful, astute, beautiful and ballsy! She does and says all the things other women might not have the nerve to do or say. Lucky is a true heroine.

Sherrilyn Kenyon and J R Ward
Most of my favorite authors are not the mega-selling kind. Of the best sellers I like Maeve Binchy, Barbara Delinsky, some of Nora Roberts books.
I would say Pat Conroy, Ellin Hillenbrand and Jodi Picoult are among the “mega best selling authors” that I enjoy reading.
Jodi Picoult tops my list of favorites!
My favorite is Nora Roberts. I especially like her In Death series under the name J.D. Robb.
Lee Child and J.D. Robb
I have never read a Jackie Collins novel but they look like fun.
My favorite authors are Danielle Steel and Jodi Picoult.
My favorite best selling author is Michael Connelly.
My favorite mega-selling author (of the romance variety) is Nora Roberts. But then there is Lee Child, James Patterson (although I am getting more picky with him), John Grisham, Janet Evanovich, etc.
My favorite author is Jodi Picoult.
My fav best seller is Stephen King!
Favorite mega-author has to be Stephen King. The master of the “unusual.”
Lisa See, Michael Collins, Laura Hillenbrand, Jeffrey Eugenides, David Sedaris, Frank McCourt and Jackie Collins.
My guilty pleasure is James Patterson. I am very selective, I am only reading the Alex Cross series. I just can’t keep up anymore. However, it appears I am rasing a Patterson lover. I have a pre-teen on her 2nd Maximum Ride novel.
I love so many but James Patterson happens to be at the top!
My fav’s are Luanne Rice and Nicholas Sparks.

My must-buy authors are Jackie Collins and Nora Roberts. I am also a fan of Diana Gabaldon. A trio of fantastic authors!
I love Jodi Picoult and Stephen King
Jackie Collins is my all time favorite! I have read everything she’s written to date, and GOV would complete my collection.
My favorite all time author for longer than I can remember is…the FABULOUS Jackie Collins!! I have every book she’s ever written and
I re-read them every year, especially the Lucky series.

Stephen King
Love NoRA Roberts and Jackie !!
for I can not and will not put them down !
Bad thing is I get nothing done
Daniel Silva for sure. great novels.
I am just a huge Jackie Collins fan. I’ve been reading her books since I was17. I’m 38 now.
My author is Nora Roberts writing as J.D.Robb. Her famous character, Eve Dallas is one tough cookie.
Favorite mega-author has to be Jackie Collins which I have been reading since high school, and Philippa Gregory who is newer to me but also saucy, well planned and intriguing.
I love to read Danielle Steel.
Bernard Cornwell and Sharon Penman!
I love most writers, my favorite ones are James Patterson, Janet Evanovich, Lynn Hightower and I would love to be lucky and win this Jackie Collins novel.
It would be Nora Roberts for me,followed by Dorothy Garlock.
Jackie Collins!!!
Jackie Collins of course… I mean why else would I even try to win one of her books.
Danielle Steele and Barbara Delinsky are a few favorites also. But I get seriously lost in Ms. Collins’ stories. My children are grown and gone with families of their own so I don’t have to put down my book until I am finished.
Elizabeth Peters is my alltime favorite author. Her Amelia Peabody character is smart, fearless and feminine, all at the same time. I look forward to each new episode!
Both Jackie Collins and Eric Jerome Dickey are my favorite authors. But who am I kidding, I just love to
Love to read and many favorite mega selling authors, but namely, Elizabeth Berg, Joy Fielding, Jodi Picoult, Sidney Sheldon (gone now, but a great one!), and the list goes on…Read many of Jackie Collins books in the past – quick and engrossing reads, though a little “scandalous” – love them too and would love to read the current novel.
Janet Evanovich
It’s a toss up between Janet Evanovich, Sue Grafton, and Sandra Brown. If they write it, I read it.
my favorite authors are Jackie Collins for the smut, whit, glamour, shock, suspense and everything else that comes with her writing. Augusten Burroughs for the realness that you cant halfway believe is real, but is so funny and strange that it has to be true…it would be hard to make up some of the stuff his memoirs are about. V.C. Andrews, even though she has been dead for years and now has ghost writers i still love her books. the shock and suspense, the smut and everything else is like a Jackie and Augusten book all rolled into one…love them all!
Jackie Collins by far my favorite author !! Takes me away to a scandalous world long before reality tv came along !! :0)
1 of my fav is karen marie moning. i love her highlander series and the fever series.
Jodi Piccolt
Sydney Sheldon
I have never read a James Patterson book I didn’t like.
I tend to prefer debut authors but I do have every book Jodi Picoult has ever written.
James Patterson, Janet Evanovich and Nelson DeMille!
i love jackie collins and dan brown, i love jackie for the raunchy god that woman has a way with words and dan for the twists that keep me in suspense till i get to the last page
Ursala Hegi & Charles Baxter are amongst my many favorite authors

J. D. Robb, Janet Evanovich, Christine Feehan, Sherrilyn Kenyon, Laurell B. Hamilton and many more.
Two of my favorites are Jodi Picoult and Lisa Scottoline.
Its a major toss up between 3 authors: Sandra Brown, Linda Howard, and Jayne Ann Krentz, they get to the heart of love with everyday issues and show that no matter what love comes to you if you are willing to let it come. I love their books.
Jackie Collins rocks! She is my favorite author. I only read her books (no other author can compare to Jackie). My goal for the 40th birthday was to read all of her 27 novels and I did!
Susan Elizabeth Phillips
Too many to mention, but if I had to single it out to just one author, it would be Robyn Carr. Her characters and settings always leave me wanting more!
My favorite best selling author is Debbie Macomber…it is like being inside a “soap opera”.
Favorite is Karin Slaughter.

JK Rowling count?
I love several authors but I would have to say that my favorites are Nora Roberts, Sandra Brown, Jackie Collins, and James Patterson!
