David Baldacci has become the latest mystery series writer to join the Kindle Million Club. Over one million paid copies of his books have been sold in the Amazon.com Kindle Store, a status he shares with thirteen other current Kindle Million Club members.
"I'm thrilled to be a member of the Kindle Million Club," Baldacci commented in a Nov. 9, 2011 Amazon.com press release. "EBooks are leading the way in more people reading and it's great to be part of this revolution."
With the recent release of Zero Day (Oct. 31, 2011) Baldacci began a new mystery series featuring John Puller, an investigator for the U.S. Army's Criminal Investigative Division. He has also authored the Sean King and Michelle Maxwell series, the Camel Club series, and the Shaw and Katie James series, as well as numerous standalone novels. Baldacci’s newest work, The Innocent, will be released in the U.S. in April 2012.
Known for his efforts in support of literacy, Baldacci and his wife Michelle created the Wish You Well Foundation. This nonprofit organization fosters family literacy in the United States by developing new literacy programs by expanding current ones. In collaboration with Feeding America,™ the Wish You Well foundation operates Feeding Body & Mind, a program that collects new and used books and then distributes them through the Feeding America Food Banks.
Baldacci’s Kindle Club membership was announced at the same time as that of Amanda Hocking and Stephenie Meyer. They join eleven previous club members – Stieg Larsson, James Patterson, Nora Roberts, Charlaine Harris, Lee Child, Suzanne Collins, Michael Connelly, John Locke, Kathryn Stockett, Janet Evanovich, and George R.R. Martin.
