David Baldacci Bio
David Baldacci (b. 1960 in Richmond, Virginia) is a bestselling American novelist.
Baldacci received a B.A. from Virginia Commonwealth University and a law degree from the University of Virginia. As a student, Baldacci wrote short stories in his spare time, and later practiced law for nine years near Washington, D.C.. While living in Alexandria, Virginia, Baldacci wrote short stories and screenplays without much success. In despair, he turned to novel writing, taking three years to write Absolute Power. It took Baldacci two years to get the book published, but when it finally did hit the shelves in 1996 it was an international best seller.
David Baldacci serves as a national ambassador for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society and participates in numerous charities as well as founding his own family foundation for literacy, Wish You Well Foundation. Baldacci was raised in Virginia and still resides there (in Vienna, Virginia) with his wife, Michelle A. Collin-Baldacci (Mikki), and two children. His cousin is the Democratic Governor of Maine John Baldacci, first elected in 2002 and re-elected in 2006.
In 1997, People magazine named him one of the 50 most beautiful people in the world.
In 1996, his first novel Absolute Power was published and became an immediate best seller. It tells the story of a fictional American President and his Secret Service agents who are willing to murder people in order to cover up the accidental death of a woman with whom the President was having an affair. It was made into a film, Absolute Power (1997), starring Clint Eastwood and Gene Hackman.¹

David Baldacci Quotes
"I'm always appreciative of the fact that people still have time to read, particularly busy people like that. Sometimes you think they're just reading for pleasure, but maybe they're reading for some of the concepts in the book, too. I have no way of knowing." ~ David Baldacci in reference to the fact that Bill Clinton, George H.W. Bush, Newt Gingrich and William Cohen have declared themselves fans of his work.
"I love David Baldacci's books, the dizzying plot twists, the evocative scenes, the compelling characters." ~ Bill Clinton
