Dan Brown

Dan Brown was born June 22 in 1964. He is an American author who mostly writes thriller fiction. The novel he is best known for is The Da Vinci Code. His novels are treasure hunts set in a time span of  24-hours. They also feature recurring themes, such as keys, codes, conspiracy theories, symbols and cryptography. His books have been translated into 52 languages and had sold over 200 million copies, as of 2012. Only two of his books so far have been made into movies, these books are The Da Vinci Code and Angels & Demons.

The novels that are most popular all have the same main character, Robert Langdon. These novels also include historical themes and Christianity as motifs and as a result have generated controversy. He states on his website that his books are not anti-Christian, but some choose to think of them as that regardless of what he says. The Robert Langdon series is currently the seventh best selling series of all times.

 Dan Brown was born and raised in New Hampshire in the U.S, and is the oldest of three siblings. Even from a young age he liked secrets and puzzle games. He could spend hours on working out anagrams and crossword puzzles. He tried later, after graduating college, to become a singer and songwriter. He did not fail, but he was not very popular. In 1991 he moved to Hollywood to pursue a career as a pianist. During that time he met Blythe Newlon. They became quite close friends and then later got together and moved back to New Hampshire, and they married near Pea Porridge Pond in 1997. She helped him with his books and she still does. However, they did write a book together. This book was called 187 men to Avoid: A Survival Guide for the Romantically Frustrated Woman. This novel was published  under the pseudonym "Danielle Brown". 

I have read almost all of his books, and so far, Inferno was the best. The way he writes his books has inspired me to  write too. I can't wait to read more books by this marvellouous writer in the future!
