I'm currently looking for authors who want to publish books under my "brand" using the James Patterson co-authoring approach. I have done this with three other authors in the past and the results have been beneficial to us all.
The book you offer should already be written, and it should also be the start of a possible series, with common characters who appear in each new book. Any genre is acceptable as long as it has a strong suspense element - romantic suspense, sci-fi suspense, espionage, international crime, mysteries/detective, etc. It doesn't matter whether you have already published the book.
I offer a 50/50 royalty split on all ebooks sold, paid quarterly.
I have no written contract - I work with other authors on a good faith basis. Any agreements are made with simple emails.
If you're interested, please send me a message at mike (at) mikewellsbooks.com and tell me what you have to offer.
Best of luck with all your writing projects,
Mike
P.S. I’m not interested in co-writing books from scratch with other authors--I'm too pressed for time right now.

The Fascination of Coauthoring: Guest Post by Author Devika Fernando
Note: This post has been reposted from author Devika Fernando's blog.
Have you ever read a book written by more than one author? I have – and now I’ve gone a step further and also written a book with another author. Bestselling author Mike Wells offered me this unique chance. He’s the mastermind behind the project that has taught me a million things and is huge fun. Let me shed some light on the fascinating topic of coauthoring and why it can be successful.
What is coauthoring?
Don’t mistake coauthoring for ghostwriting. The former involves two people and their input into a book, the latter means one person does all the work and another person gets credited for it and sells it. Coauthoring can be compared to a multi-author anthology, with the difference that there aren’t many stories contributed to one collection but one story with two contributors. Another term for this is collaborative fiction. This principle is fairly common in non-fiction but still rather rare in fiction. However, co-writing is on the rise.
There are different ways how to handle co-authoring:
- An author takes another author’s finished (but unpublished) work, edits and remodels it, and publishes it.
- Both authors brainstorm an idea and plot, and one author writes the first draft. The second author will then edit and rewrite to publish the book.
- Both authors write simultaneously or in instalments / chapters until they finish, edit and publish the book together.
Mike Wells has tried the first and second method. The first one has resulted in the crime novel “With Mother’s Approval” and is a collaboration with author Robert Rand. The second one involved me – pinch me, I must be dreaming – and will be available as the romantic suspense novel “Forbidden” soon. To quote Mike on both adventures: “This is a new direction I’m trying and so far it’s been working great. The book I collaborated on with Robert Rand is receiving rave reviews, and I expect the same result with Devika’s.”
As for the third method, it works well too. I read “Bought in Blood (Sanguinem Emere, Book 1)” and loved it. Carmen Dominique Taxer wrote it with her partner Richard T. Wheeler (I believe she focused on the vampire scenes and he wrote the scenes from the detective’s POV). There are quite a lot of books coauthored by a husband-and-wife duo or authors who are friends. Sometimes the team publishes under a common pseudonym, as is the case with Grant Naylor, Lewis Padgett and Judith Michael. Other coauthored books display the renowned author’s name prominently and show the coauthor’s name in smaller font. Usually the royalty is split or there are some other (financial) benefits for the co-author.
Here are some other examples of authors who ‘hire’ co-authors (some of them really famous):
- Lincoln Child & Douglas Preston
- James Patterson
- Tom Clancy
- Wilbur Smith
- Nicci Gerard & Sean French
- Janet Evanovich
- Clive Cussler
Advantages and tips
If you search the internet, you’ll find comments that denounce coauthoring and say it’s a trend doomed to fail. From my point of view though, I can see many reasons for and advantages of collaborative fiction.
- One of the team might have specific experiences or special knowledge the other author doesn’t have.
- It’s a great opportunity for those who don’t have enough time, because you’re sharing the workload.
- You can learn a lot in the process, maybe even rediscover yourself or venture into other genres.
Here’s Mike Wells’ take on why and how authors can benefit from coauthored books. “One of the main reasons I am doing it is to amplify my range and output—the more titles you have out there, the more books you sell and the larger your reader base grows. The risk, of course, is that you produce books of lower quality due to various factors, such as the “too many cooks spoil the broth” problem. However, I think by carefully agreeing up front exactly how the book will go, who will do what, etc., you can avoid this problem and actually have a synergistic result, a book that is better than either author might produce on his/her own for the reasons Devika stated above.”
Of course there are things to be considered. There needs to be a sort of “working plan”, each author needs to know their tasks and responsibilities. The authors have to discuss and agree on copyright, earnings, distribution and marketing. Communication is essential, and you need to work together on more than one level.

Reader Interview - Lisa Belue
Can you tell us a little bit about yourself?
I’m a Carolina Girl living in West Texas, spending most of my life in North & South Carolinas. But seven years ago I met a wonderful man through an on-line dating service and moved to West Texas!
When and how did you discover that you love reading fiction?
I started out reading my mom’s “historical romances,” primarily for the steamy scenes. ;-)
What are some of your favorite books and who are some of your favorite authors?
Since receiving my Kindle a couple of years ago, my favorites have expanded tremendously! I most favorites would be action packed suspense (particularly with strong female characters), and novels based on true stories. Authors that I turn to first are Janet Evanovich, James Patterson, both of the Kellermans, Jen Lancaster, & Rebecca Wells.
What is your favorite thing about reading fiction?
I love escaping into the virtual worlds of books. With a good writer, I feel as if I’ve been sucked into the story – like a movie made with words!
Do you have any “pet peeves” about authors, something they do that really annoys you?
Though I understand why so many series writers do this, it’s a little annoying to me when the first several pages or chapters are spent recapping the previous book(s).
Do you write fiction yourself? No
What do you think about ebooks vs. paper books?
I love, Love, LOVE ebooks! I always have several books accessible to me at all times. I also like the flexibility of changing the font size.
What is your favorite Mike Wells book and why?
So far, the only ones I’ve read: the Lust, Money & Murder series 1-3. I ripped through all 3 books in a hurry because of the fast paced action packed suspense – with a strong female character – all my faves! Wild Child is the next series.
Thank you so much for taking the time to be interviewed for my blog, Lisa!
Thank you for the opportunity to become a fan. I probably never would have given your books a second glance without the enticement of a free book. And I really would have missed out!
I can be reached via email at topaz.online@gmail.com or twitter at @b_topaz.

This Week's Reader Interview with Dawn Torrens
Can you tell us a little bit about yourself?
I was born Dec 14th, in Beverly, Yorkshire, England. I have been writing since I was 9 years old I started out writing poems as a means to escape from my not so great reality at that time. I worked as a model at weekends for M&S for a few years to pay for my first house as well as working full time in accounts and studying in the evenings. Then very recently I self published my first book, "Amelia's story" by D.G Torrens. A true powerful story (my story) This book was written for my daughter who is my life my heart my everything! I wanted my princess to understand the hard road I had to travel before I got to where I am today. My daughter is currently almost 3 yrs old, so she will not be reading it for many years to come yet. I almost did not make it through my childhood, but I am very thankful I did, and have not wasted a moment of my life since making it to adulthood. So now I treasure every moment, I love jogging, and have completed 5 belts so far in kickboxing! I love good wine, eating out, traveling reading/writing are passions of mine, I cannot read or write fast enough!. My motto is: "The child first and foremost."
When and how did you discover that you love reading fiction?
I discovered my love of fiction at a very young age, reading the likes of Enid Blyton, again reading like writing poems was a means of escape for me, I realized I could transport myself into the story I was reading at the time, this for me was both magical and life saving, sounds dramatic but believe me its true! I would read anything I could get my hands on, I was like a sponge and soaked it all up. I have a love of reading, and my too read list is so very long. I currently own a Kindle with so many books lined up to read at some point, I am working my way through them all.
What are some of your favorite books and who are some of your favorite authors?
This is very easy, I have read every single book James Patterson and Patricia Cornwell have written, I love there work I love Charles Dickens, Emily Bronte, Jane Austen, to name but a few, my favorite books have to be, "Pride & Prejudice" This book is so beautifully written, set in a time when ladies were ladies and gentlemen really were gentlemen! The romance of it, the language is just so captivating. Another favorite book is, "Wuthering Heights" the power of this book the love torn couple, the angst, its mesmerizing, and sad. I have read hundreds of books over the years, and will read hundreds more in the future! The books I love to read and continue to remember are those that draw me in emotionally one way or another, the ones that make you feel strongly for the characters. I read a book recently which caught my attention in this way and that was, "The leaf catcher" by Dax M Tucker this book was beautifully written and reminded of the greats like Dante. This book had such a profound affect on me, and will be one I remember too.
What is your favorite thing about reading fiction?
What I love about reading fiction, is that you can be transported instantly to a place, reading fiction expands your imagination and allows you to explore the impossible! Sometimes we all need a form of escapism and for me a really good work of fiction is my escape.
Do you have any “pet peeves” about authors, something they do that really annoys you?
Yes a pet peeve is when an author has taken the time to write a brilliant book and then goes and ruins it with a really bad ending, or should I say not very imaginative ending! I have come across this so much over the years, and I really don't understand. If your going to take the time to write a brilliant book don't rush the ending...Another thing that annoys is "Prologues" this is exactly what it should be, but some are far too long and they do not need to be.

Do you write fiction yourself?
Yes, I have an Unfinished thriller based novel, which I am taking my time to write, hopefully it will be out next summer 2012. I am currently half way through now. I love writing fiction and have great imagination, I hope to write many novels in the future.
What do you think about ebooks vs. paper books?
There is a place for both I believe, I own a kindle and find it so handy when traveling rather than carrying a heavy book! However I am also a book lover and have collected hundreds over the years, I love the feel of the actual book. I could not be with out my kindle now, but I also could never give up my books either. I am a lover of both ebooks and paper backs.
What is your favorite Mike Wells book and why?
Ahh now this easy, it has to be "Lust, Money and Murder" I really could not put this book down! I could identify with the Elaine the main character on some level my self. Elaine had lost everything, she wanted to avenge her fathers death, so proceeded on an amazing journey to do just that, she came up with genius idea of joining the secret service, so she could seek out the very man responsible for her fathers death, however this took her in a direction she was not expecting. Finding herself in Bulgaria working for another secret service agent she unexpectedly fell in love him, I think a lot of women can relate to this! Things were going great for a while until a bad secret service agent secretly got in touch with her and managed to convince Elaine that her boss was under investigation for illegal money laundering. Elaine left Bulgaria with out a word to her lover and went to work for another government agent, but all was not as it seems and she gets drawn into Russian mafia dealings through no fault of her own, she finds herself fighting for her life. I could go on and on about this story I loved it so much! I want more of this Mike please...I loved your writing style,each page was full of excitement, I found this very hard to put down. I'm kind of envious I wished I had written this book my self!
Thank you so much, Dawn, for taking the time to give an interview for my blog.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for inviting me here today, I visit your web site often as it is very insightful and full of valuable information. I have recently down loaded your book "Wild child" on to my kindle, so I am looking forward to getting lost into this book too. Please may I just mention that my book, "Amelia's story" by D.G Torrens - a percentage of all my sales goes to the NSPCC & Barnardos.

This Week's Reader Interview with Dorothy Beecher
Can you tell us a little bit about yourself?
For 28 years I worked in a small satellite office for a large cable company. On June 16th of this year our small office closed.
Instead of settling for a different job with the company that I knew I would hate, I decided now would be a great time to retire.
My husband gave me all of his support and my old company gave me a retirement party and a kindle, which started me on my ebook journey. I live in upstate New York with my wonderful husband. He is a local musician who plays keyboard in one local band and guitar in another. He also works for a local newspaper. We have 2 wonderful grown sons, who both live close by . We love to get together for pizza parties. Having a musician in the family I also spend alot of time listening to music, a few of my favorites being Medieval Baebes, Loreena McKinnett, Jethro Tull and Eric Clapton. Recently I have discovered Apocalytica, 3 classical cellist and a drummer from Finland who play metal music. Since I have retired I have been able to spend more time creating earrings and bracelets using beads. I am lucky enough to live next door to a remodeled old church where I can go to practice yoga and we get together to record chanting music. For a little over 5 years now I have been practicing Reiki and recently became a Reiki Master Teacher.
When and how did you discover that you love reading fiction?
As far back as I can remember I have loved reading fiction. In grade school my teacher would give us free time to read and I would get so caught up in the book I would not hear her tell the class to put their books down. My teacher would come over and tap me on the shoulder to get my attention. I tried to apologize for not hearing her but she told me never to apologize for loving to read.
When I first read this question I tried to see if I could remember the first book that I fell in love with. The first book I could remember that I loved when i read it was Heidi. Next I fell in love with the mystery of Mary Stewart books. At 13 I was introduced to 'The Hobbit' and The Lord of the Rings. After that I was hooked on science fiction and fantasy. In high school I would spend most of my free time working in the school library.
Everyone in my family are avid readers. My husband's passion is historical non-fiction especially books about the World Wars. Before my oldest was even in school, I introduced them to J.R.R. Tolkien, reading them a couple of chapters of 'The Hobbit' and then The Trilogy every night. Once we finished the last book we would start with 'The Hobbit' and go through them all again. In turn my sons turned me onto Anne Rice and Caleb Carr.
What are some of your favorite books and who are some of your favorite authors?
What are some of your favorite books and who are some of your favorite authors?
I love all the books in the Outlander Series by Diane Gabaldon, 'The Hobbit' and The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien, Anne Rice's Vampires and even James Patterson's books with Alex Cross. I loved reading Herman Hesse and did my senior term paper on him. Also I am a huge fan of books about witches and I have to say I loved reading 'A Discovery of Witches' by Deborah Harkness. Although I can find only 2 books written by him, I recommend 'The Alienist' by Caleb Carr. I also love books about witches and Suza Kates series now are on my list of favorites
What is your favorite thing about reading fiction?
Fiction gives me a chance to explore places and worlds created in other people's imagination that I would never get a chance to see. I can travel to different times both past and future where I surely cannot go. I can become "involved" with characters lives and go on thier journeys and adventures with them. I love being able to become so involved in a book that I can picture exactly what Rivendell, the Elven Village in The Lord of the Rings looks like or I can actually feel afraid when reading Bilbo Baggin's adventure in Shelob's den in 'The Hobbit' or cry when Black Jack Randall tortured Jamie Fraser in 'The Outlander'. You can "safely" fall in love with the hero or heroine of your favorite books.
Do you have any “pet peeves” about authors, something they do that really annoys you?
I admire all authors and have a great respect for them and their ability to share their thoughts and visions and put them into a story. My pet peeve is with the movie company that takes a really great book and makes changes to the authors story. We have read great books and fallen in love with them and then gone to see the movie and wondered why parts were changed. When someone takes these stories and changes them just to "sell" more tickets, in my opinion, really does a disservice to the author who wrote the book and also to the fans of the book.
Do you write fiction yourself?
I really wish I did. Right now I have a fantastic story in my head, as I think a ot of people do. At this time unfortunately,my story just does not seem to want to be translate to the written word.
What do you think about ebooks vs. paper books?
Personally I love them both. I have always loved paper books. I, myself, cannot throw a book away. I will give it away but I cannot put on in the trash can to get rid of it. I use to love finding $.25 treasures at garage sales. Authors I may never have normally bought but found I loved. I am now finding these treasures for my kindle. I read my kindle every night before I go to sleep. That being said I hope ebooks never replace children's books. Some of the most treasured times with my sons when they were young was spent with one son sitting on each side of me and I am reading them a book and we are looking at the pictures.
What is your favorite Mike Wells book and why?
'Wild Child' was the very first free book I got for my kindle (thank you Mike) and I really enjoyed reading it. My favorite, however, is 'Lust, Money and Murder' Book 1. I found Elaine to be an extremely strong woman who had gone through a lot at a very young age. She was determined to make things right for herself and her father the right way. She worked extremely hard for what she wanted and I found myself cheering her on every step of the way. It was very refreshing for me to see a young woman not take the easy way out to get revenge. I love reading mysteries and books with intrigue and a little romance thrown in for good measure.
Thanks so much for taking the time to be interviewed on my blog, Dorothy!

I want to thank you for asking me to do this readers interview. I saw your post for the free download of Wild Child and this was my first free ebook. I enjoyed it so much that I purchased 'Lust, Money & Murder' Books 1-3 and now I can't wait to find out what happens with Elaine and Nick, so please get writing Mike. I have to know what happens.

This Week's Reader Interview - Alana Denton
Can you tell us a little bit about yourself? I am a 38 year old Business owner that works daily as a technical writer in the capacity of a grant writer. I also manage my company’s Marketing and social media. My career allows me to work with some amazing non-profits. My favorite clients are fire departments and first responders; they are our country’s unsung heroes. I’m married and have two amazing sons – Collin is 16 and Avery is 15. My personal daily companion is my rescued, adopted wonder-dog Shaggy. He is a poodle/Scottish terrier and loves long walks, hanging out with his best pet pals, and sitting on the porch swing on rainy days.
When and how did you discover that you love reading fiction? I’ve been reading since the age of two years old. I was the first reader in my class, and by 5 yrs old I was helping teach other kids to read. I have a voracious appetite for books. “A bad book is better than a good movie” – my personal quote. By the time I was 11 years old, I had read everything in the YA section in our library. From the age of 8-14 yrs old, my sister and I were the reigning top readers in our library’s summer reading program. After exhausting the YA books, I moved on to genres in the rest of the library – fiction, non-fiction, historical, romance, etc. Today, I am a 300+ book a year reader. I usually average almost one book (full-length) a day. Until getting my first e-reader (Kindle) in late January, I always read actual hard copy books. The e-reader allows me portability, faster reading, access to books anywhere, anytime…
What are some of your favorite books and who are some of your favorite authors? Authors: Harlan Coben, Janet Evanovich, James Patterson, Catherine Coulter, Ken McClure, David Morrell, John Hart, Agatha Christie, PD James, Maureen Johnson, Jenny Hilborne, Michael Prescott, Erin Nicholas, Linda Winfree, F.P. Lione, Carolyn Keene*, Kathryn Kenny*, Kate Douglas Wiggins, Laura Ingalls Wilder, Jane Austen, Louisa May Alcott (*yes I know it’s a pseudonym)
– Books: The Help, Gone with the Wind, Clear Blue Sky, Civil Disobedience, Hearts of the South series, Irish Angel Series, Lead with LUV: A Different Way to Create Real Success, Robert’s Rules of Order, Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farms, Little Women
What is your favorite thing about reading fiction? Fiction allows the reader to be transported to any location and any period in time. One day you maybe roaming the Irish hills, the next in 1850’s New Orleans, the next day on a ship in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean with a pirate ship bearing down on you. My favorite fiction is full of exciting plots and edge of the seat action. My favorite fiction writers are the ones who utilize the pen to literally create an entire world that is believable, and that the reader feels a vital part. Almost as if you are experiencing the adventure, sadness, drama, thrills yourself.
Do you have any “pet peeves” about authors, something they do that really annoys you? Talking down to readers in books; not being available online (Twitter, websites, etc) and grammatical errors (really see a lot of that on e-books)
Do you write fiction yourself? Yes, but I have not tried to seek a publisher or try any self-publishing. I write for myself mostly to vent.
What is your favorite Mike Wells book and why? Lust, Money & Murder – It was interesting reading it in three parts. It almost felt like a series. I loved the strong female lead. How Mike uses the twists and turns of the story where you never know what is coming. It was an amazing thriller. I absolutely love a book where I don’t know what will happen within the first few chapters. This is why I love Lust, Money & Murder. It is an exciting page-turner, a book you won’t be able to put down!
Thanks so much for your interview, Alana!
I applaud you for being a self-published author when it is a difficult (yet exciting) time for books, bookstores, readers and writers. The economy has made readers, bookstores and even authors re-think every purchase. Also enjoy following you on Twitter and appreciate the feedback, recommendations and exchanges.
