Christopher Rosow – Author of Ben Porter series
A bunch of people have read my book and they liked it, some
of the critiques from publishers was really helpful, so I rewrote
the story and decided to self publish.
SUBVERSIVE ADDICTION is the third thriller in the Ben Porter series. Christopher Rosow was approached by Jim Patterson. Newly self-published author Christopher Rosow thought it was a sales call. Turns out that it was THE James Patterson. He had been given a copy of Rosow’s first book, loved it, and wanted to see if he could help. Then Rush Limbaugh got hold of a copy and raved about it on his show. Rosow’s two previous novels introduced the relatable and compelling protagonist Ben Porter. (Ben is an overweight, nerdy Everyman with no girlfriend and a beater car, but with a talent for thinking outside the FBI box.) The instant success of the series at the top of the Amazon, Apple Books, and Wall Street Journal charts attracted the attention of Spyglass Media Group, a major Hollywood producer, which has optioned the series for film. Author Christopher Rosow eagerly tells his own story, from writing the first manuscript as a diversion from his day job in design and construction, to proposing his first novel to publishers, to the bitterness of rejection. Rosow persevered, Patterson and Limbaugh helped out, and today the independent author is creating his own publishing universe.
