Patterson says: "I am not going to get into who wrote what he wrote some, I wrote some. Patterson famously co-wrote a thriller, The President Is Missing, with former US President Bill Clinton last year and it is now being adapted for a TV series.Ī lawyer and agent they share suggested they work together and after lots of texting, and Patterson sitting down with Clinton and questioning him about the inner workings of the White House and Secret Service, they produced a book they are both proud of. Some of the ideas he has filed away in the office of his home in Florida are just a single sentence, others are stories he has started before hitting a barrier. He says: "One year I did over 2,500 pages of outlines, with three or four drafts for each one." With nearly all of the thrillers written with others, Patterson, who is a big supporter of literacy and education in the US and has donated more than three million books to schoolchildren and the military, writes a 60 to 80-page plot outline which the co-writer uses for the first draft. Patterson, who writes seven days a week and relaxes by playing golf, adds: "There are hundreds of thousands of people who don't like what I do and that is fine but I would prefer for them to at least have read some of the books before being negative.
