The Authors' Collaboration

Clinton and Patterson have a unique chemistry when it comes to writing.

Their previous collaborations have resulted in best-selling thrillers, and this new novel is expected to be no different.

In "The First Gentleman," they take their writing to a new level.

In our new book, we really take the gloves off," Clinton added. This shows their willingness to push the boundaries and create a story that will keep readers on the edge of their seats.
