An Evening With Nicholas Sparks
(Lecture Series)
Bestselling author Nicholas Sparks will present “An Evening with Nicholas Sparks” as part of the 2013-2014 University Speakers Series at 7:30 p.m. March 10 in the Show Me Center. With almost 80 million copies of his books in print, literary sensation Nicholas Sparks is the author of 17 New York Times #1 bestselling books and a cultural phenomenon in his own right. In 1994, at the age of 28, he wrote “The Notebook” over a period of six months. In October 1995, Warner Books famously paid Sparks $ 1 million for his novel. It was published in October 1996, and he followed that with 16 novels, including “Message in a Bottle” (1998), “A Walk to Remember” (1999), “Nights in Rodanthe” (2002), “Dear John” (2006), and “The Last Song” (2009), to name a few, all with Warner Books/Grand Central Publishing. All of his books were domestic and international best sellers, with almost 80 million copies sold worldwide, translated into more than 45 languages. His newest book, “The Best of Me,” was released in October 2011. Coupled with the undeniable success of his many books, the movie adaptations of Sparks’ books have become the most iconic romantic feature films for a whole new generation.
