Author Description David Baldacci has been writing since childhood, when his mother gave him a lined notebook in which to write down his stories. (Much later, when David thanked her for being the spark that ignited his writing career, she revealed that she’d given him the notebook to keep him quiet, "because every mom needs a break now and then.”) <br /><br />David published his first novel, <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/15159.Absolute_Power" title="Absolute Power" rel="nofollow noopener">Absolute Power</a>, in 1996; the feature film adaptation followed, with Clint Eastwood as its director and star. In total, David has published 52 novels for adults; all have been national and international bestsellers, and several have been adapted for film and television. David has also published seven novels for younger readers. His books are published in over 45 languages and in more than 80 countries, with over 200 million copies sold worldwide. <br /><br />In addition to being a prolific writer, David is a devoted philanthropist, and his greatest efforts are dedicated to his family’s <a href="http://www.wishyouwellfoundation.org" rel="nofollow noopener">Wish You Well Foundation®</a>. Established by David and his wife, Michelle, the Wish You Well Foundation supports family and adult literacy programs in the United States.<br /><br />A lifelong Virginian, David is a graduate of Virginia Commonwealth University and the University of Virginia School of Law. <br />
