Dolly Parton and James Patterson on "Run, Rose, Run"
CBSN
The Bluebird Café in Nashville is home to some of the best short-story writers around; after all, story is what makes a great country song. And every writer – especially acclaimed ones, like novelist James Patterson, knows just how hard that can be. "I actually tried to write some country-western songs," he said.
Correspondent lee Cowan asked, "Did you ever perform them?"
"No!"

Seems that there is always a lot going on behind the walls of the White House where truth can often be stranger than fiction. But fiction can be pretty compelling, too. In the new novel "The First Gentleman" (to be published June 2 by Little, Brown & Co.), the commander in chief is a woman, and her husband is accused of murder. It's the third collaboration from best-selling author James Patterson and his co-writer, President Bill Clinton.
