American Author Steve Berry Visits Poland

4 May 2007

Ambassador Ashe with Steve Berry

Steve Berry lives on the Georgia coast and still practices law after 27 years. Steve has been writing since 1990, and though his undergraduate degree was in political science, and he's trained as a lawyer, it was Steve's interest in history that led to him writing international suspense thrillers. They were the kind of books he liked to read, so naturally they became the kind of book Steve liked to write. He's also active in local politics, and is currently one of five members of the Camden County Board of Commissioners. Steve's first two books, The Amber Room and The Romanov Prophecy were both U.S. national bestsellers. His next novel, The Third Secret, became an instant bestseller, debuting at #13 on The New York Times hardcover list and climbing to #5 on the Times paperback list. His latest is The Alexandria Link, which debuted tied for #2 on the The New York Times hardcover list, spent 5 weeks in the top 10, should be available in Polish next year. It also ranked in the top 20 for USA Today, and the top 10 for Publisher’s Weekly and BookSense bestseller lists. Steve Berry’s visit to Warsaw is made possible by support from the American Embassy, Sonia Draga Publishers, and the Marriott Hotel.
