I have read Patterson since day one and love his books. When it comes to the WMC series, I see a huge drop in quality writing, sentence flow and overall paragraph structure. I am currently reading The 8th confession and this has so many confusing, miscombulated aspects I am very disapointed as to why he would feel sorry enough for you to continue to put his name with yours. He has written with other authors and none of them are as bad as you are. Incoherent thought patterns that arent explained yet written in this book leave readers wondering just what you are talking about. In this one I am reading now.8th Confession: Last para: chapter 49 "I hear hoofbeats coming down the road Sarah Darlin, I,m thinkin horse, you are a definite zebra."
I see Mr Patterson feeling sorry for you and letting you ride on his well-credentialed reputation, but you are only fooling yourself if you think you are some kind of great writer. THAT is the reason you aren't writing on your own.
