James Patterson to publish books for kids, who also need to kill time at the airport
James Patterson—writer of countless crime novels with titles like Along Came A Spider and See How They Run that probably don’t surpass an eighth-grade reading level—is finally getting serious about children’s literature. The Associated Press reports that Patterson has launched an imprint under Little Brown & Company called “jimmy patterson.” The imprint will publish children’s books by Patterson as well as other authors; the profits will go to several of Patterson’s favorite causes, such as teaching scholarships, library funds, and independent bookstores, which presumably are not located inside airports.
