Who is the author of the 1988 autobiography "Moonwalk"?

"Moonwalk" is a 1988 autobiography written by American recording artist Michael Jackson. The book was first published by Doubleday on February 1, 1988, five months after the release of Jackson's 1987 "Bad" album, and named after Jackson's signature dance move, the "moonwalk". The book reached number one on the New York Times Best Seller list. The book was reissued by Doubleday on October 13, 2009, following Jackson's death on June 25, 2009.

Due to the public interest in Jackson, "Moonwalk" was prepared for publication in secret. At the printing plant, the book was given the code name "Neil Armstrong", after the first "moonwalker".

The book discusses Jackson's show business friends, girlfriends and his rise to fame. The book also discusses Jackson's appearance and thoughts on plastic surgery. Jackson stated that up to that point, he had two rhinoplastic surgeries and the surgical creation of a cleft in his chin. He attributed the change in the structure of his face to puberty, weight loss, a strict vegetarian diet, a change in hair style and stage lighting.

"Moonwalk" debuted at number one on both the British newspaper The Times' and the Los Angeles Times' bestseller lists. Reaching number two in its first week on The New York Times Best Seller list, "Moonwalk" reached number one the following week. Within a few months of its release, "Moonwalk" had sold 450,000 copies in fourteen countries.
