James Patterson's newest co-author: Guns N' Roses

Once you co-write a novel with a former president, how do you follow that up?

How about co-writing a children’s picture book with an ’80s hair band?

James Patterson and Guns N’ Roses are releasing Sweet Child O’Mine (which of course borrows its name from one of the band’s big hits) in September.

The book, according to the Guardian, “celebrates love and music, and how they bring us together in the sweetest ways,” and stars the niece and daughter of the band's manager, according to Pitchfork.

You can read more about the collaboration between Patterson and the band he’s long loved — and also ensure that the title tune gets stuck in your head — in the Guardian.
