The author of The Guilty, David Baldacci, has published close to 40 books and counting. Over 110 million copies of his books have been sold worldwide and he has had several books on the bestselling list for both adults and children. His books have also been translated in over 400 languages and sold in about 80 countries.
Aside from his writing accomplishments, David has donated to and become a part of many charities and even founded one himself. He and his wife Michelle started the Wish You Well Foundation, which helps support the education of people who can't afford books or school. His main mission is to teach everyone to read. "If everybody read, we'd have a much better world" (Baldacci from Fox 8 interview).
David mainly writes thriller novels, but explored the fantasy genre when he wrote The Finisher for a younger audience. He likes having the ability to create an entire new world rather than having to comply to the rules of the real world for his books.
Despite living a solitary life as a writer, David says that he loves interacting with other people and going to book events because he believes that it helps improve the quality of communities.
