Patrick Wensink (born 1979) is an American author.
His novel Broken Piano for President[1] received increased publicity when the whiskey company Jack Daniel's Properties (a subsidiary of Brown–Forman) 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] However, the whiskey company said it could be done upon the book's next reprinting and it would compensate the author if he chose to comply during the current run.
[6] In an article on Huffington Post, Wensink used this experience as a model for how books can gain publicity.
[7] His other books include Sex Dungeon for Sale!
