We Danced All Night (1977) recalls her years in London high society between the wars, while books like The Magic Of Honey and Vitamins for Vitality show her enthusiasm for natural health.

Her biographical works cover figures from Christina of Sweden to Empress Elizabeth of Austria, and her later non-fiction includes guides to romance writing that draw on decades of experience producing bestsellers.
