About the author

Jamie Collins writes larger than life women's fiction that is fun, sexy, and far from unforgettable. Her "Secrets and Stilettos" series is binge-worthy reading about the fast-track world of media and entertainment. As a former model/actress, she infuses her stories with Hollywood grit, sizzle, and heat reminiscent of the great women’s fiction writers (Collins, Sheldon, and Goldsmith) of decades past on which she cut her writing chops reading and emulating their iconic styles.

Collins brings a fresh, modern-day take on the throwback pocket novel tomes that defined an era of extravagance and excess in exchange for a world where women are more powerful, smart, and driven than ever. Collins’ stilettos have been everywhere from nightclubs in Japan to the Playboy mansion, to dinner with a Sinatra. Her aim is to delight and entertain readers of women’s fiction everywhere.
