Patrick Wensink
Patrick Wensink is an American author (born 1979). His most recent work is a novel entitled Broken Piano for President.[1] The novel received increased publicity when the whiskey company Jack Daniel's sent a politely worded cease-and-desist letter to the author asking that he change the design of his book cover, which closely resembled the label on Jack Daniel's whiskey.[2][3][4] In a post on the Huffington Post, Wensink used this experience as a model for how books can gain publicity.[5] The controversy propelled Broken Piano for President to the #6 bestseller position and the #1 positions for satires on Amazon.com.[6]
His other books include Sex Dungeon for Sale! and Black Hole Blues.
