JAMES PATTERSON BOOK SIGNING AT THE VERO BEACH BOOK CENTER

Sunday November 8, 2015 I was lucky to attend a book signing by James Patterson at the Vero Beach Book Center.  James answered questions for about 45 minutes and then signed books.  He was funny and very nice taking lots of time to answer all questions.  The Vero Beach Book Center is very nice, lots of books and children's toys.  If you are ever in the area, I recommend this store.   I bought and had autographed The Murder House as well as Alert a Michael Bennett Novel.  I am reading the Murder House now, review to follow shortly.
