Nicholas Sparks is currently one of the most respected authors from America, with a particularly strong reputation within the contemporary novelist section where he has become a bestseller over a period of several successful years. This article introduced this famous writer and discusses the best of his books up to now. The list of titles now includes the likes of The Rescue, Dear John, The Notebook, Message in a Bottle, A Bend in the Road, Nights in Rodanthe, The Guardian, The Wedding, Three Weeks With My Brother, True Believer, At First Sight, A Walk to Remember, The Choice and The Lucky One. Many more are planned for the coming years along with further movie adaptations which have already been made of older Sparks' novels.

Sparks has become such a success that he is now up against the best international contemporary novelists rather than just the domestic authors across America as his booksales have outstripped all of the latter in recent years leaving his main ambition to be challenging the likes of British writer JK Rowling to the title of best selling international contemporary writer. Few others can currently challenge these two, with Rowling benefiting from the hugely successful adaptations of her Harry Potter series of books into film which has given Sparks an excellent target to aim for in future years, as he has plenty of time still on his side.

Conclusively, Rowling and Sparks will remain the bestselling book authors for several years to come thanks to the exposure of their film adaptations upon the already exceptional quality of their novels which have quickly produced fans from all around the world after being promoted heavily and translated into at least 30 languages. Nicholas Sparks and his family spend much of their spare time promoting causes that they feel passionately about and the continued financial success for Sparks will enable him to back these even further as well as being able to offer them more exposure throughout the media to continue to show great interest in his life and career.
