Personal life

Denise Naomi Klein, the daughter of Kathleen Clarice Louise Cornwell, was a prolific author who wrote under a variety of names, and Herman Klein, a music professor and journalist, was born in London, England, on February 1, 1897. He was born in Norwich in 1856 and assumed he had come from a family of Russian Jews. Kathleen Clarice was born in Melbourne, Australia, on March 11th, 1872, and she was George Cornwell and his wife Jemima Ridpath's daughter, who married in 1850. George Cornwell was a railway guard who became a highly respected gold prospector in Australia, as well as a well-known building contractor. Alice Cornwell, his eldest daughter, who was born 1852 in England, was extremely wealthy in the 1890s, returning to England and buying the Sunday Times newspaper.

In 1890, her parents were married. He had two sons, Adrian Bernard Klein (1892–1969) and Daryl Klein (1894), before his birth of Denise Naomi Klein (1897–1985). Denise, Adrian, and Daryl Klein's childhood was far from settled. Herbert Berkeley Dealtry, a Worcestershire Regiment officer who was younger than her husband and shorter than herself, began a relationship with Kathleen Klein, who became aware of it in December 1901. Kathleen later married Dealtry.

The Dealtrys had a lot of issues in 1905 over dog shows' promotion, which they had been drawn into by Kathleen's sister Alice Stennard Robinson, a leading member of the Ladies' Kennel Association (founded 1904) and the National Cat Club. The money from the first dog show went missing, and the Dealtrys hosted a second show to pay the prize money owed on the first. The prize winners were suing Dealtry, which resulted in his being declared bankrupt following his second appearance. The family lived in America for a few years, but Kathleen (or 'Kit') Dealtry was back in London in 1908, writing Christian books. Mrs Sydney Groom wrote at least three books in 1918 as Mrs Sydney Groom, for the third time.

Adrian Bernard Klein, her eldest brother, became a writer and wrote books on photography and cinematography. Adrian Cornwell-Clyne, who served as an officer in the British Army, became a Fellow of the Royal Photographic Society and changed his name to Adrian Cornwell-Clyne.

Denise Naomi Klein married Arthur Robins, a corn broker on the Baltic Exchange, in 1918, they had three children, Eve Louise, Patricia Robins (a.k.a. Claire Lorrimer (as the author of another best-selling book) and Anne Eleanor are among Anne Eleanor's favorites. The marriage ended in divorce in 1938 after Robins married O'Neill Pearson in Egypt, 1939. Robins, on the other hand, continued to publish the majority of her books under her first married name, Agatha Christie.

Denise Klein began writing as a student and then went back to work as a writer for the D. C. Thomson Press. When her first book was published in 1924, she began to follow in her mother's footsteps.

Her serial What is Love?

From December 1925 to February 1926, Mr. Reagan appeared in The Star from December 1925 to February 1926. Heatwave, her first play written in collaboration with Roland Pertwee, was produced at the St James' Theatre, London, in 1929. Denise Klein, a writer of fiction, wrote under a number of pen names, including Denise Chesterton, Francesca Wright, Ashley French, Harriet Gray, Hervey Hamilton, and Julia Kane. Many of Arthur Robins' books were published under her married name.

When she first met Charles Boon, founder of Mills & Boon, in 1927, she began writing fiction and getting it published for ten years, she began working for his company the same year. She was expected to be paid thirty pounds for three books and ten percent in advance. Her next book, which would have more than six books, was worth twenty-five pounds per book, but her third one, which had four more books, cost one hundred pounds per book, was inexorable, with two terms of twelve and a half percent.

Mills & Boon's books' colorful dust wrappers were becoming one of their most popular selling points. The back of Robins' Women Who Seek (1928) featured a glamorous flapper with a glossy make-up, as an example.

Robins was not only Mills & Boon's most popular blogger but also their best paid. How Great the Price was a book she signed in 1932, which was the eight books she bought from Shatter the Sky (July 1933) to How Great the Price (June 1935). This was, however, her last work for the company before being 'poached' by a new publisher, Nicholson & Watson.

Of this development, Arthur Boon wrote:

Robins related to events in her autobiography: she recalled them.

Life and Love (1935), Robins' first book, was published with a huge publicity campaign. Robins' first photo shoot was on a trip to Liverpool to open a new lending library, and the London bus brand 'Robins for Romance' was posted.

Robins have been dubbed "the recognised mistress of the punishing kiss device," Joseph McAleer has described him.

Robins certainly wrote more than 100 and sixty books during her long career as a writer, from 1917 to her death in 1985. The Queen of romantic fiction, according to the Daily Graphic, she was dubbed "the queen of romantic fiction."

In 1961, she was elected President of the Romantic Novelists' Union.

Denise Robins' memoir, Stranger Than Fiction, was published in 1965, a novel by Robins. "Denise Robins wrote a wonderful life, drawing her millions of followers around the world. Her unhappy childhood did not deter her enthusiasm for love. "Here is her own tale."

Robins' books had been translated into fifteen languages and had sold more than a hundred million copies at the time of her death in 1985. More than one and a half million times were borrowed from British libraries in 1984. House of the Seventh Cross, Khamsin, and Dark Corridor were among her best-selling works. The first dozen of her novels were published in e-book form in October 2011.

Writing career

When she left school, Denise Klein went to work as a journalist for the D. C. Thomson Press, then became a freelance writer. She began to follow in her mother's footsteps when her first novel was published in 1924. Her serial What is Love? ran in The Star from December 1925 to February 1926. Her first play, Heatwave, written in collaboration with Roland Pertwee, was produced at the St James's Theatre, London, in 1929. As a writer of fiction, Denise Klein wrote under a variety of pen-names, including Denise Chesterton, Francesca Wright, Ashley French, Harriet Gray, Hervey Hamilton and Julia Kane. After marrying Arthur Robins, many of her books were written under her married name.

Robins had been writing fiction and getting it published for ten years when in 1927 she met Charles Boon, of Mills & Boon, and she entered her first contract with his firm the same year. Under the terms of this, she was to be paid an advance of thirty pounds for three novels, plus ten per cent terms. Her next contract, for a further six books, delivered an advance of twenty-five pounds for each book, while her third contract, for four more books, paid one hundred pounds for each, plus terms of twelve and a half per cent.

The colourful dust wrappers of Mills & Boon's books were becoming one of their biggest selling points. As an example, the cover of Robins's Women Who Seek (1928) showed a glamorous flapper checking her make-up.

Robins became not only Mills & Boon's most prolific writer, but also their best paid. A contract she signed in 1932 paid her £2,400 for eight books, which were those from Shatter the Sky (July 1933) to How Great the Price (June 1935). This was, however, her last work for the firm, as she was then 'poached' by a new publisher, Nicholson & Watson. Of this development, Arthur Boon wrote:

Robins gave her version of events in her autobiography:

The first book Robins wrote for Nicholson was Life and Love (1935), which was launched with a huge publicity campaign. Robins's first photo opportunity was a visit to Liverpool to open a new lending library, and the slogan 'Robins for Romance' was posted on London buses.

Joseph McAleer has described Robins as "the recognised mistress of the punishing kiss device.

During her long career as a writer, from about 1917 until her death in 1985, Robins certainly wrote more than one hundred and sixty books. She was dubbed by the Daily Graphic "the queen of romantic fiction".

She was elected as President of the Romantic Novelists' Association in 1961.

In 1965, Robins published her autobiography, Stranger Than Fiction, summarised thus: "Apart from writing nearly two hundred novels that have brought her millions of fans throughout the world, Denise Robins led a remarkable life. Her unhappy childhood did not sour her belief in love. Here is her own story."

At the time of her death in 1985, Robins's books had been translated into fifteen languages and had sold more than one hundred million copies. In 1984, they were borrowed more than one and a half million times from British libraries. Among her best-selling works were House of the Seventh Cross, Khamsin and Dark Corridor.
