The country singer spoke with People about how this acclaimed author approached her with the idea. "I thought, 'What? Why do you want to write a book with me? You're doing alright on your own, and I'm doing okay,'" she revealed. "He said, 'No, I think this would be a good thing!' So I thought, 'Well, why not? I'm doing everything else.'"
Patterson, as stated by Celebrity Net Worth, is one of the best-selling authors in the world, with The New York Times' record of the most best-selling fiction titles and the Guinness World Record for being the first writer to sell over one million ebooks.
