Bill Clinton said in a statement, “Working on a book about a sitting President — drawing on what I know about the job, life in the White House, and the way Washington works — has been a lot of fun.”

“I’m a story-teller, and President Clinton’s insight has allowed us to tell a really interesting one. It’s a rare combination,” Patterson said in a statement release.

The pair has been friends for more than a decade and it seems like the perfect combination. The novel will be published jointly by Alfred A. Knopf and Little, Brown and Company in June 2018, according to a press release from the companies.
