(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.") David published his first novel, ABSOLUTE POWER, in 1996. The feature film adaptation followed, with Clint Eastwood as its director and star. David has published 48 adult books; all have been national and international bestsellers, and several have been adapted for film and television. His novels have been translated into over 45 languages and sold in over 80 countries, with 150 million copies worldwide. David has also published seven books for younger readers. David and his wife are also cofounders of the Wish You Well Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting literacy programs across the United States.
