Nicholas Sparks Thought 'The Notebook' Would Be His Only Book

Safe Haven author and producer Nicholas Sparks initially didnt anticipate more success to come after his first novel The Notebook.

The 17-time bestselling author lightheartedly shared: ”After I wrote The Notebook so many years ago the first thing I said to my agent was, ‘Well I hope you’re not expecting another one cause that’s it! I have no more ideas, I used them all up on book number.’ Well, here I am eighteen books later so I guess it’s gone okay.”

Okay, it has!

And we’re glad he kept on going at it, with upcoming novel turned flick Safe Haven hitting theaters on Valentine’s Day February 14.
