“Working on a book about a sitting president — drawing on what I know about the job, life in the White House, and the way Washington works — has been a lot of fun,” Clinton said in a statement Monday. “And working with Jim has been terrific. I’ve been a fan of his for a very long time.”
Patteron said this was the “highlight” of his career: “I’m a storyteller, and President Clinton’s insight has allowed us to tell a really interesting one. “It’s a rare combination — readers will be drawn to the suspense, of course, but they’ll also be given an inside look into what it’s like to be President.”
Patterson has penned a slew of best selling books throughout the years, including “Bullseye,” “Sweet Tomorrows” and “The Underground Railroad.”
