James Patterson chooses Tracks of My Years

Best-selling author James Patterson chooses Tracks of My Years all this week with Ken. Plus there's your love song dedications and another round of PopMaster at 10:30.

James Patterson - the world's best-selling author, with more than 350 million books sold worldwide - chooses the Tracks of My Years all week with Ken. The son of an insurance salesman and a schoolteacher, James grew up in Newburgh, New York, and began writing casually at 18. He was first paid to write as a junior copywriter in New York, but left the world of advertising behind to concentrate on his creative writing. James has gone on to create enduring fictional characters such as Alex Cross, as well as collaborating on famous fiction with President Bill Clinton and Dolly Parton.

James is also hugely passionate about encouraging children to read and has written a range of books for younger readers inspired by his own son. Now James has charted the story of his career for the first time in his memoir 'The Stories Of My Life', which was published earlier in the summer.

The first two tracks James has chosen come from Jerry Lee Lewis and The Beatles.

Ken also has the daily love song, record and album of the week plus another round of PopMaster. If you want to contact the show, just email ken.bruce@bbc.co.uk.
