From: Michael Wolff < To: Jeffrey Epstein Subject: Fwd: James Patterson Date: Thu, 17 Mar 2016 16:46:06 +0000 Scan down several emails. The last has yet to get a response. But it is nonfiction and they seem trying to avoid my question about precise authorship. Forwarded message From: Michael Wolff < Date: Thu, Mar 17, 2016 at 11.48 AM Subject: Re: James Patterson To: "McGrath, Erinn" Yes, of course. I didn't mean as a publishing imprimatur, but as a branding device--as Patterson has done with various of his fiction titles, using outside authors writing under his name. I just not aware of an instance in which this approach has been used in nonfiction. Any other examples that you can think of? On Thu, Mar 17, 2016 at 11:45 AM, McGrath, Erinn The book is being published by Little, Brown and Company (all of his adult titles are). Thanks!

And clarify for me, Connolly is saying he's written the book under Patterson's imprimatur, which seems to be a new sort of brand extension. This is done in fiction, of course, but any other examples like this that you know of in nonfiction? On Thu, Mar 17, 2016 at 11:30 AM, McGrath, Erinn It's nonfiction — not his first, but probably his biggest foray into the genre.

There's no book on Epstein at this point. Connolly has been working on an investigation for several years, and since he and Jim are both from Palm Beach they have met. Eventually they might see if there will be enough for a book, but it is too early to tell at this point. That said, if something does materialize, I'll be sure to let you know. Let me know if you need anything else. My best, Sabrina Sent from my iPhone This may contain confidential material.
