Bibligraphy Series
I have read both of this stand alone books, Dark Tide and The Blue Zone and can give you my highest recommendation. His first book, The Blue Zone made the New York Bestseller list and I am predicting the same for Dark Tide. I could hardly put The Blue Zone down to sleep and eat. One night I was up until 2 AM reading it. |

I actually did major in English at Middlebury, but after an MBA from Columbia, and a stint at the Leslie Fay Companies, a women's clothing firm started by my grandfather, I went into the sports apparel field. I ended up president of HEAD Ski and Tennis (to brag: we grew to #1 in America in both businesses while I was there) and later, le co-authored, a French sports fashion line. It was one-too-many turnaround situations or more precisely--one that didn't turn around, that hastened my writing career. Gross says the joining James Patterson to co-author 5 books was a life altering opportunity and "it was like a combination MFA and MBA rolled into one. He knows what kind of stories he wants to tell, has a keen sense of what will appeal to his readers, especially women, what's vital in a scene for it to succeed, knows exactly when the scene needs more--or generally, less! And he's an even better editor than he is a writer. Hopefully, I've learned a few things from him along the way." |
