Top 10 highest paid authors of 2011

3. Stephen King

11/22/63, by Stephen King, Scribner, 864 pp.

The thriller/mystery/horror master raked in $28 million during the 12 months tracked for this list. Although King is best known for his darker novels, including "The Shining," "Salem's Lot," and "It," 2011 marks an interesting year for him. His newest book, set to come out in November, is called "11/22/63" and takes a departure from the horror genre to explore a time traveling man sent back to stop JFK's assassination. So next year, this number could be even higher.
