“Drop Dead Beautiful – The Continuing Adventures of Lucky Santangelo” was published in 2007. Lucky came back with a vengeance – bolder and more beautiful than ever! In “Drop Dead Beautiful” Lucky meets old friends and enemies, and deals with her wild teenage daughter, Max, who is as stubborn and strong as her mom. Lucky plans to return to Las Vegas and build an amazing billion-dollar hotel complex. But when she does… the trouble really begins…
Next came “Married Lovers,” a powerful look at the ins and outs of marriage in L.A. It’s also the story of an under-age Russian girl who becomes involved in the sex trade, and eventually arrives in Hollywood and causes major trouble.
“Poor Little Bitch Girl” followed “Married Lovers,” another New York Times bestseller. It is the story of three very different women who all went to high school together. Denver Jones – a twenty-five-year-old kick-ass associate lawyer in L.A. Carolyn Henderson – assistant to a powerful married Senator in Washington. And Annabelle Maestro – daughter of movie star parents, who has carved out a niche for herself as a much-in-demand New York madame running call girls.
And then there is Bobby Santangelo – Lucky’s Kennedyesque hot sexy son, with mucho style, great looks and plenty of money. Everyone wants Bobby…
Throw into this mix a raunchy agent, a sixteen-year-old gangbanger’s girlfriend, an older superstar on the prowl, a lethal murder… and “Poor Little Bitch Girl” becomes a guilty pleasure for everyone to enjoy.
Jackie’s next novel, “Goddess of Vengeance,” is the continuing adventures of Lucky Santangelo – much beloved by Jackie’s legion of fans – who makes a triumphant return in this story of lust, power and revenge set between Los Angeles and Las Vegas. The Daily Mail called “Goddess of Vengeance” “the book of the year.” Also returning in “Goddess of Vengeance” are Lucky’s gorgeous son, Bobby, with his girlfriend, Denver, and Max, Lucky’s wild little teenage daughter. And along for the thrilling ride is Armand Jordan, and to quote Jackie – “Armand is the nastiest villain I have ever created.But he was fun to write!”
And now comes a sexy sun-drenched thriller, “The Power Trip,” set on state of the art luxury yacht off the coast of Cabo San Luca. A tropical getaway with a cast of global power brokers and celebrities.
In “The Power Trip” you will meet Aleksandr Kasianenko, a billionaire Russian oligarch, as he sets sail on The Bianca with his sexy supermodel girlfriend, whom The Bianca is named after. Also five dynamic, powerful and famous couples invited on the yacht’s maiden voyage: Hammond Patterson, a driven Senator, and his lovely but unhappy wife, Sierra. Cliff Baxter, a charming, never married movie star, and his ex-waitress girlfriend, Lori. Taye Sherwin, a famous black UK footballer and his interior designer wife, Ashley. Luca Perez, a male Latin singing sensation with his older decadent English boyfriend, Jeromy. And Flynn, a maverick journalist, with his Asian renegade female friend, Xuan.
You will also meet Russian mobster, Sergei Zukov, a man with a grudge against Aleksandr. And Sergei’s Mexican beauty queen girlfriend, Ina, whose brother, Cruz, is a master pirate with orders to hold The Bianca and its illustrious rota of guests for ransom.
“The Power Trip” explores the decadent playgrounds of the super rich… and leaves you hungry for more. Take it if you dare…
Jackie recently completed work on a play – “Hollywood Lies.” She is currently writing two new novels “The Santangelos,” and “Wild Child,” – a book about young Lucky. And also “The Lucky Santangelo Cookbook – An Italian Feast.“ Jackie is also working on a memoir, “Reform School or Hollywood,” and a coffee table book, “Hollywood Snaps,” filled with celebrity photos she has taken over the years.
Jackie lives in L.A. and calls herself a popular culture junkie. Her hobbies are music – everything from soul to rap, taking photographs, and visiting exotic locations so that she can write about them later.
Jackie firmly believes that the truth is always much stranger than fiction.
