Nicholas Sparks Previewing New Book At Don Cesar Saturday
Nicholas Sparks previewing new book at the Don Cesar Saturday.
Nicholas Sparks has written 23 books, all of which has become New York Times bestsellers. He has sold over 105 million copies worldwide, in more than 50 languages, including over 75 million copies in the United States alone.
His most famous is “The Notebook” that he wrote in 6 months when he was 28. He will be in St. Pete at the Don Cesar on Saturday evening previewing his new book “Dreamland”.
What is really cool is that he normally writes his stories around North Carolina, but this time the characters in the new book actually met on the beach in front of the Don Cesar.
Sparks said in an interview I watched on Fox13news.com that he chose St. Pete Beach as a location in his book because he loves the area. He has stayed at the Don Cesar a bunch and he loves the area. He says he walks the beach, kayaks and even hangs out at some of the bars along Gulf Blvd.
Unfortunately, this event is already sold out. The show is also sold out at the Oxford Exchange in Tampa earlier in the day – but you can get on a waitlist for tickets for that event, if you’re lucky.
I’m bummed too, I don’t have tickets for this event. I would love to go.
What Other Books Has Nicholas Sparks Written
Some of his other books that have turned into movies are “A Walk To Remember”, ” Dear John” “Safe Haven” “The Last Song” “The Longest Ride” and many more.
Honestly, if you haven’t picked up a book from this guy, you’re missing out. Any book you choose is a good one.
