“Perfect
happiness is knowing that everyone I love is healthy, safe, and content.”
– Joy Fielding
Fielding’s quote just seemed apropos
during this time of upheaval – plus she was born on this date in 1945, so that
made it another great reason to talk a bit about her and her writing.
Born in Toronto, Canada (where she
still makes her home), Fielding has been both a writer and an actress but she’s
been in the writing field a lot longer, having started at the age of 8. And while she’s acted in a number of TV shows
and a few movies, she’s much better known for her writing with 27-plus novels
to her credit, led by the mega-bestsellers Kiss
Mommy Goodbye and The Bad Daughter.

“I'm writing exactly the kinds of
books I like to write,” she said. “And
they're the kinds of books I like to read. They're popular commercial fiction.
That's what they are.”
