I believe this. Easily. I think all the authors that churn them out like that are probably douches. Grisham, Patterson, Steven King etc. Just my speculation.

What did you do in publishing? Sometimes I think I'd like to be an editor and get paid to read books but then if I get a bad one I really can't keep reading it so I would get fired lol.

I was a publicist!  It was... something.  I worked with some really fun authors, and some really awful ones -- and my boss worked with the company's celebrity authors, which was always interesting, for better or for worse.

Believe me, being an editor is a pain in the ass.  Especially when you're new, and you're working on the crappiest crap someone ever crapped out on paper.  Numerous editorial assistants jumped over to publicity or ad/promo because of it.

But, yeah.  Patterson.  Yeesh.
