"James Patterson by James Patterson: The Stories of My Life" by James Patterson
https://www.amazon.com/James-Patterson-Stories-My-Life/dp/0316397539/A standalone autobiography of a prolific murder mystery, fantasy, comedy, teen, children, romance, science fiction, memoir, and non-fiction author. I read the well printed and well bound hardback published by Little, Brown in 2022 that I gave to my mother that she passed back to me after reading. I hope that there will be a sequel some day. After all, there are now thirty-three of his Alex Cross books alone of out of his around two hundred novels and novellas published to date.
If you are interested in one of the most prolific authors ever, you need to read this book. He not only talks about his life and accomplishments but talks in detail about his writing style and methods and about his co-authors that he uses extensively. He has sold over 425 million books as of 2022 which puts him right behind J. K. Rowling. He notes that he works on 30 to 35 books simultaneously in separate notebooks, all written in longhand using a #2 pencil. The only thing that his autobiography is missing is his life pictures.
