Stephen King is no fan of bestselling author James Patterson. In a discussion after a speech accepting a lifetime achievement award from the Canadian Booksellers Association, King issued the smackdown to Patterson:
"There's no formula for what I do," said King, who added that if he tried to analyze and formulate his approach to writing, he might loose his touch.
Still, the author admitted his break-neck writing pace has slowed in recent years.
"There was a time, when I was working on "The Stand," when I really was a lot faster because none of the gears seemed to stick together."
"That's a young guy thing - and besides, my priorities changed."
King also took a swipe at best-selling author James Patterson, famous for penning thrillers like "Along Came a Spider" and "Kiss the Girls."
"I don't like him, I don't respect his books because every one is the same."
No response yet from Patterson, but we're looking forward to a lovely feud, in the vein of Rosie O'Donnell vs. Donald Trump.
