She was born in Westfield, New York, in 1929 to Sicilian immigrant parents. She studied at San Jose University and the University of California - Los Angeles. Before she began her writing career, she owned and managed a women's clothing shop.[1] She published 13 best-selling novels, mainly romantic thrillers and later science fiction. She also wrote a song, "Ballad of One-Eyed Jacks," for a movie, One-Eyed Jacks (1961), starring Marlon Brando.[2] Her best known novel is The Godson (1976), later renamed House of Lions, about a Mafia family; at the time, this was an unusual topic for women writers.[3] In an interview, Basile said her childhood experiences with prejudice against Sicilians inspired her to research her roots, and resulted in The Godson and another novel, Appassionato (1978), set in post-war Sicily.[1] She published two novels under the pen name Michaela Morgan.[4] Works
