Across seventeen novels, nine of them adapted for film, Sparks has become one of the world’s best selling and most beloved authors, and he hasn’t slowed down a bit.
“What I’m most proud of in my own career is: I never got lazy,” Sparks said during our interview earlier this summer, at Amazon’s Seattle campus, with this publishing legend.
“I’ve heard rumors that some people have actually shed tears over some of my novels,” he joked.
