Hi Everyone,
James got this letter from a fan and thought it was really funny so he shared it with us. I thought it was really funny so now I'm sharing it with you:
Dear Mr. Patterson,
I took a look at The Santa Kid the other day (I'm going to get it for my niece for Christms. I have only one suggestion for improvement--you should have had Gary Soneji wipe out Santa. )
LOL! Santa Kid is super cute... and it's kind of "Patterson Gateway Book" and a great Christmas gift for kids.… Continue
Hey everyone,
Here it is, Chapter Two! Maybe I'll send a chapter out every Friday before launch....a little Friday afternoon pick-me-up? Kinda like the Coke Zero I'm drinking right now (pretty tasty). I think that would be fun, what about you?
And if you need a refresher, here's a link to Chapter One.
T-Minus 38 days till launch on November, 16th!

Hey everyone,
Thought you'd enjoy this. Turns out a lot of moms on the web have been reading Daniel X and really loving it. Check out some of the reviews, and the mom bloggers themselves, below!
"...My 12 year old son was next in line to read the book. (As usual. I love that he loves to read as much as I do!) I expected to hear "Mom, this is sorta boring" or "Mom, I don't want to finish this one." Instead, the child greeted me with snickers. And giggling. And guffaws. He really liked this book… Continue

Hey everyone!
We all love James' books, and sometimes it's easy to forget that he wasn't always a writer. Like, he was born in a town and raised there and went to school and then left for college from there.

Below are some pictures from the event. He got introduced by a former classmate, met the mayor of Newburg… Continue
