Writer and president

Former US President Bill Clinton and the author of the bestsellers James Patterson have spoken about BBC about how their latest political thriller entitled was created The first sir. They already have two hits behind Where is the president? and President’s daughterwhich are also translated into Slovenian. They have sold as many as 230 million books worldwide and filled their bank account well.

It all started on the golf course, where one day they met and chatted about criminals and thrillers – a literary genre that Clinton adores. Then they met in Florida and in the Westchester New York district, where they mostly reside. Their joint friend, Washington’s lawyer and literary representative Robert Barnett, He suggested that they join forces and write a book together, and they accepted the proposal smoothly. According to Clinton, he was primarily an apprentice, although he also has one hit – his highly anticipated autobiography, which was published in 2004, sold in the US alone in more than 2.9 million copies.

What is the secret of their success? That when they write, they still have a lot of fun. The new novel is about President Madeline Wright and her husband, who is a former professional American football star who is fighting to wash his name, as he was a suspect for the murder of a young fan many years ago. It is a classic drama in which a police investigation is looking at a court hall in which journalists, detectives and political agents strive to discover the truth about who killed the girl. The main researchers in the story are not a detective but a journalist.

What did they learn from each other? Peterson has learned a lot about the political scenes and is pleased that their novels are very authentic, as Clinton is a witness firsthand. Clinton, however, admitted that he was still a great Patterson fan and that he did not imagine that he would become a writer in his old age. It also helps that Patterson despises Republicans, especially hostile to Trump.

He prefers rock and roll from everything in the world, he admitted, so it is no wonder that he lives in a house where John Lennon and Yoko Ono once lived. Even in New York, he lived just a few buildings away from a house called Dakota, in which Lennon lived and was shot before. She is also a big charity; Last year, he earmarked half a million dollars in independent bookstores that are increasingly at risk.
