James Patterson is a native of Newburgh, New York. He graduated from Manhattan College and The Graduate School at Vanderbilt University. Not surprisingly, both degrees were in English. He wrote his first novel before starting as a copywriter in 1971 at the well-known advertising agency, J. Walter Thompson. He continued to write novels as he progressed through the company and in 1988 aged 39, he was named J. Walter Thompson's CEO, the firm's youngest ever. He now resides in Palm Beach, Florida, with his wife and their young son.
Patterson is the creator of the top-selling new detective series of the past dozen years, featuring Alex Cross and including the Hollywood-adapted Along Came a Spider and Kiss the Girls, starring Academy Award-winning actor Morgan Freeman. He is also the creator of one of the world's bestselling detective series, featuring Lindsay Boxer and the Women's Murder Club, from which the ABC television drama series was adapted. He has authored books behind six films on the Hollywood fast-track, including Maximum Ride by Avi Arad, the producer of X-Men and Spiderman.
