The writer was surrounded by friends and family when she passed away peacefully, according to her publisher
You Don’t Own Me “She was unique. Nobody ever bonded more completely with her readers than Mary did; she understood them as if they were members of her own family,” her longtime editor Michael Kordathe Queen of Suspense, it wasn’t just a phrase; she always set out to end each chapter on a note of suspense, so you just to keep reading. It was at once a gift, but also the result of hard work, because nobody worked harder than Mary did on her books to deliver for her readers.
He continued, “She was also, unfailingly, cheerful under pressure, generous, good-humored and warm-hearted, the least ‘temperamental’ of bestselling authors, and the most fun to be around. I feel privileged to have enjoyed forty-five years of her friendship, and saddened that I will no longer be able to pick up the phone and hear her say, ‘Michael, I think I’ve figured out how to make this story work.’ She was a joy to work with, and to know.
Simon & Schuster CEO Carolyn Reidy said in a statement, “Today we did not just lose an author, but a true and well-loved member of the Simon & Schuster family.”“I will miss her tremendously, both on a personal and professional level, but we all can be grateful and proud for having had the privilege of being her publisher these many years, and thankful for all she has meant to her millions of readers and for her kindness and service to many generations of authors.
According to Clark’s publisher, more than 100 million copies of her books are in print in the United States alone. Her novels are also international sellers — with many works made into television films.
