Two years later, Carter's second co-written book, Memories: The Autobiography of Ralph Emery, rose to number-two on the New York Times best-sellers list. It was the first of seven Times best-sellers he would pen before the end of the 1990s. He also had two USA Today best-sellers. By 1996, he had written more best-selling memoirs during the '90s than any other writer in America, according to People magazine. That title stood through the decade's end.
The new millennium saw two works of ghostwritten fiction by Carter, Holiday In Your Heart and A Mother's Gift. Each spawned a prime-time, made-for-TV movie on CBS and ABC.
Carter's celebrity clients include Reba McEntire, Britney Spears, Merle Haggard, Glen Campbell, Ronnie Milsap, George Jones, Tammy Wynette, LeAnn Rimes, Ralph Emery and Larry Jones, among others.
Oklahoma Associated Press has honored Carter, naming him "News Writer of the Year" and "Columnist of the Year." He is also a former reporter for Time and People magazines.
Carter has been a professional writer for 46 years.view less
