In the dedication of The Lake House, Patterson writes, "This is for the other Max, Maxine Paetro, who has been involved with the bird children from the beginning." Paetro is credited as Patterson's co-writer on other series such as the Women's Murder Club. In the author's note to When the Wind Blows, Patterson thanks Maxine Paetro for her involvement in research, writing and editing the book. The plot and tone are different, and the adult series focuses on more mature subjects. However, the two series are not connected, and they are not prequels or sequels. James Patterson revisited similar ideas in the young adult series Maximum Ride, beginning in 2005. The books follow Frannie O'Neill, a kindhearted veterinarian who encounters Maximum or "Max," a young girl with wings, created by cruel scientists. The When the Wind Blows duology is a pair of adult science fiction thrillers by James Patterson. Nor do Frannie and Kit play any part in the series.
Max and the other kids in the Maximum Ride books are not the same Max and kids featured in those two books. "The idea for the Maximum Ride series comes from earlier books of mine called When the Wind Blows and The Lake House, which also feature a character named Max who escapes from a quite despicable School.
