James Patterson, Maxine Paetro: 4th of July (Woman's Murder Club)

Bestselling author James Patterson has recently honed his craft toward the social; that is to say, he's contributing to the production of a game that players will be able to engage with on platforms such as Facebook. The website, All Facebook, reported this in December, 2010. The game is an interesting take on the equally interesting books that the author's penned over the years. Below is a YouTube trailer of the game. James Patterson also wrote: Cross Fire (Alex Cross), Witch & Wizard: The Gift, and The 9th Judgment (Women's Murder Club).

James Patterson sells 1 million Kindle books Christian Science Monitor - Marjorie Kehe - ‎

James Patterson is now the second member of the “Kindle Million Club.” Amazon announced yesterday that Patterson had sold 1,005,803 e-books through Amazon's Kindle Store. The Kindle Million Club recognizes authors whose books have sold more than 1 million copies in the Kindle Store. The first – and only other – author to hit the million mark so far is Stieg Larsson, author of the "Millennium" trilogy. The only surprise in yesterday's announcement was the fact that the astoundingly prolific Patterson (who often works with coauthors) had not been the first inductee into the Kindle Million Club. Although he is perhaps best known for his thrillers featuring forensic psychologist Alex Cross, Patterson has written 65 books since retiring from advertising 34 years ago. He has had 19 consecutive No.1 New York Times bestselling novels and holds the Guinness World Record for "most hardcover fiction bestselling titles by a single author." (His total in that category is 56.)
