Sales were modest, though, and Sparks continued to support himself by working as a pharmaceutical salesman in the early '90s. Sparks' first book, published in 1990, was a nonfiction book co-written with Billy Mills called Wokini: A Lakota Journey to Happiness and Self-Understanding. Neither was ever published, however, and Sparks worked a number of different jobs in his first years after graduating from Notre Dame. He began writing in college, during which time he produced two novels. He is a native of Nebraska, though he has lived most of his adult life in North Carolina, where his books are set. He's sold more than 105 million books worldwide, and 11 of his novels have been turned into films. Sparks has written over 20 novels in his career, all of which have been best-sellers. If you're a reader who loves uplifting romantic novels, you've probably read a few Nicholas Sparks books.
