Want to know James Patterson better?

James Brendan Patterson is an American Author born in 1947, in Newburgh (New York). He has many notable works such as Women’s Murder Club, Alex Cross series, or Michael Bennett series among others. 

In terms of sales, He is a best selling author, having sold more than 300 million copies of his books. He is said to be the first author to sell 1 million e-books copies, a feat achieved on  6 July 2010, there are some discrepancies about such an achievement though, since Amazon announced that its Kindle store had sold over one million ebook copies of the books in Stieg Larsson’s Millennium Trilogy. 

James Patterson is among the highest-paid authors of all time, having published more than 300 books. In 2012 his novels have sold more copies than those of  John Grisham, Stephen King and Dan Brown combined.

However, he has received some criticism for co-authoring many of his books, even from some other authors as is the case of Stephen King.

He coauthored a crime fiction book together with former United States President Bill Clinton, titled The President is Missing. Patterson stated that this novel would have a level of detail that only a former U.S President would be able to provide.

James Patterson has made appearance on tv shows as The Simpsons, and also has appeared in Castle as himself.

Hope that this article with all James Patterson books in order was useful for you. Before you leave, maybe you would like to check Michael Connelly books in order, since he writes books in the same genre so you will enjoy them as well for sure.
