In reply to the discussion: Has anyone read the new James Patterson memoir "Stories of My Life" ? [View all]anobserver2
(922 posts)I was thinking more about this.
I will bet these writers have written contracts that are illegal.
The contracts are for life.
The writers are not allowed to show these contracts to anyone or speak of these contracts.
And when James Patterson dies, his son Jack, a banker, will be the executor and / or trustee of James Patterson's
estate -- and the contracts continue beyond James Patterson's death. Something like that.
The royalty money that should be going to these writers but does not go to these writers is going somewhere else,
not just to James Patterson.
Part of the money is being used for the purpose of funding political parties. Here in this country and other countries.
Something like that is happening.
And a lot of money laundering is going on, unbeknownst to the writers in his writers factory.
None of this would surprise me in the least. Though it would come as a shock to the American people.
Something like this is going on, is my belief. The only way to stop it is to stop buying his books.
I must say: I was very very happy to see such a low-key almost muted roll-out of this memoir in a bookstore.
Earlier the bookseller there told me I would find his new memoir on the "New Books" section - but it was not there.
Other books, by other writers, were there - but not this memoir.
I expected to see this new memoir in the windows, like other books i have seen in the windows of this bookstore with
his name as the author in big letters.
But this memoir was not in the window, either.
I was so happy to see this: no book in the window, no book on the new books section.
Instead - there were other writers, other books.
And, not many of his books placed on the shelf. More books of other writers were on the shelf.
Finally, not many people buying it is what it seemed to me, as I returned to the bookstore several times.
All in all - maybe the revolution against his tyranny has already begun. I certainly hope so.
