Then again, Patterson was once an J.Walter Thompson (ad agency) CEO. And he is the best-selling author in print today by an absurd margin, to the extent that one out of every 35 books sold in the world last year had his name on it. If there was ever a guy who was a prime candidate to do product placement in a fiction novel, it'd be him. Although best I can tell the practice is more common in the UK than here in the US so far.
Also found an interesting article on him in a UK paper from this past weekend. |
Really? Wow. I'm a little saddened that he's the best selling author around.
