Clinton and Patterson again team up for political thriller

NEW YORK (AP) — After co-writing the best-selling adult novel of 2018, Bill Clinton and James Patterson have teamed up for another political thriller.

“The President's Daughter" will be released in June 2021, the book's publishers announced Thursday. As with the million-selling “The President Is Missing,” the new novel will be a rare joint release by rival companies: Alfred A. Knopf, which has released Clinton's “My Life” among other works, and Little, Brown and Company, Patterson's longtime publisher.

“I never imagined I’d be writing a book with a master storyteller like Jim, much less two," Clinton said in a statement. “I was grateful for the success of the first book, and I believe readers will enjoy reading ‘The President's Daughter' as much as I’m enjoying working on it.”

Added Patterson, one of the world's best-selling and most prolific authors: “Working with President Clinton has been a highlight of my career, and I’m thrilled to have the chance to write with him again.”

I love Patterson's books (although many of them are mostly written by his co-authors). But recently found out he is a major rethuglican and trump supporter.

And there is no way he could team up with Trump to do something like this but he supports him for fucking President.
