James's first foray into kid-accessible fiction, the critically acclaimed Maximum Ride series, debuted on the list at #1 and remained there for 12 straight weeks. The series has so far been on the New York Times bestsellers lists for more than 54 weeks, proving that kids love pageturners, too! James Patterson is the creator of the books behind six movies on the Hollywood fast-track, including this young adult series Maximum Ride, which is actually an adaptation of the celebrated illustrated children's book, santaKid, the thrillers Honeymoon and Lifeguard, the Alex Cross series, and a stunning horror novel to be published later on in '07, You've Been Warned.
One of a handful of authors whose sales have been growing over the past two years, even as bestselling fiction sales have been sluggish.
The author of novels--from The Thomas Berryman Number (1976) to Honeymoon (2005)--that have won awards including the Edgar, the BCA Mystery Guild's Thriller of the Year, and the International Thriller of the Year award.
Patterson's Women's Murder Club series has also been green-lighted as a pilot for ABC television, and could be on the air as soon as fall, 2007.
