"Connections and Why They Matter"
Most of what happens in our life will spark a connection. Life connects with what has been found in books. Books connect with what happens in life. Use the connections to help you see more clearly. A love of reading and writing is what motivated the creation of this blog. Thank you for coming to the blog.
David Baldacci was born and raised in Richmond, Virginia. He graduated from Henrico High School and earned a BA from Virginia Commonwealth University and a JD from the University of Virginia School of Law, after which he practiced law for nine years in Washington, DC.
While practicing law, he turned to novel writing, taking three years to write Absolute Power. Published in 1996, it was an international bestseller. Baldacci has published 36 best-selling novels for adults and six books for younger readers.
One estimate of his net worth was 45 million dollars. He says that he has been writing since childhood when his mother gave him a lined notebook to write down his stories. Fan, since I read 14 of his books at this writing and reviewed them here in the Book Review section, I have asked myself why I like his books. The main reason is that they make sense and hold my attention. I have reviewed some authors that have kept my attention for twice this many books, but the last few seem like they could be better. No so with David Baldacci.
