I was surprised to read on The Writer’s Almanac (writersalmanac.publicradio.org) on Friday that 66-year-old thriller writer, James Patterson, is the best-selling novelist in the world. He reportedly sells more books than Dan Brown, John Grisham and Stephen King combined, according to recent sales data.With that said, I must be one of the few people left alive who has never read anything by James Patterson, but I plan to change that soon. By my count, Patterson has published 99 books, not counting those that have been published under more than one title. For example, three of his early books – “The Jericho Commandment,” “Virgin” and “Black Market” – were revised after their original publication and re-released as “See How They Run,” “Cradle & All” and “Black Friday,” respectively. What follows is an up-to-date list of all of Patterson’s books in order of their publication.
