James Patterson
I write larger than life. It's what I do.
James Patterson

Why would you let [the TV audiences] build a habit of going to the cable networks? So I think they've obviously smartened up now, and they're not giving the summer to cable anymore.
James Patterson
Fang felt a cold jolt, then dismissed it. Max wasn’t dead. He would know, somehow. He would have felt it. The world still felt the same to him therefore, Max was still in it.
James Patterson

James Patterson
