DL icon, Dolly Parton, Teams Up with James Patterson to Write Her First Novel

[quote] The book, titled Run, Rose, Run, is set to be released on March 7, 2022 and will be published by Little, Brown and Company. Parton has also written an album by the same name, composed of twelve original songs, to be released simultaneously in accompaniment to the story. “I cannot be more excited about the release of my very first novel Run, Rose, Run with the great James Patterson. I also have a new album to go along with the book,” Parton enthused in an exclusive statement to People. “All new songs were written based on the characters and situations in the book. I hope you enjoy the book and the songs as much as we've enjoyed putting it all together!”

[quote] Run, Rose, Run will tell the story of a young woman who moves to Nashville to pursue her dreams of becoming a country music star. But, according to the press release, “The source of her heart-wrenching songs is a brutal secret she has done everything to hide. But the past she has fled is reaching out to control her future—even if it means destroying everything she has worked for.”

I’m guessing this will be 25% Dolly and 75% James in writing and the opposite in revenue-sharing.

"Run, Rose, Run will tell the story of a young woman who moves to Nashville to pursue her dreams of becoming a country music star."

How original.

Is Patterson in massive debt or is he just a Parton fan? This sounds like a teamup that was completely drawn out of a hat.
