An ordinary journalist by name Forsyth who was not known at all became a very hot author after The Day of the Jackal was published, the obscure lawyer, Griham who was just managing to survive in his profession, became a top author after A Time to Kill was published, a single mother on benefits called Rowling, became the very top author after the first Harry Potter novel , that was something, and finally, a very obscure theatrical producer called Ludlum produced best sellers after best sellers , after the publication of The Osterman Weekend. Grisham and Rowling are the superstars here, a status even Fleming did not achieve in his life time then.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
