## Bio

Sidney Sheldon started on Broadway in the 1940s, moved into motion pictures, and won an Oscar in 1948 for writing The Bachelor and the Bobby-Soxer. He spent the next two decades in television, creating The Patty Duke Show, I Dream of Jeannie, and Hart to Hart. Then, past 50, he pivoted to romantic suspense novels. The Other Side of Midnight arrived in 1973, followed by Rage of Angels in 1980 and Master of the Game in 1982. That late-career swerve made him one of the best-selling fiction writers of all time.
