Keep at it, would-be authors. All it takes is one book catching on for you to become a household name who pops up on best-sellers lists whenever you release a new title. Most would recognize James Patterson for the numerous books that he has produced, not all of which have earned him positive reviews from critics and from fans. Patterson has managed to become a brand of his own that is linked with movie projects. One may not love all of his work, but Patterson has become the gold standard for what modern authors should deem as success in a world of e-books and made-for-TV movies.
