A new newsletter (with a forthcoming cross-reference) and a new appearance of Koontz Lizard. I’ve saved several new items on deck for next week in the hopes that I can get back to an item a day instead of scrambling on the weekends.

I’m back from the American Library Association conference and cone again, Amazon’s book was a letdown on the Koontz front beyond a single image on a flyer and copies of The Forest of Lost Souls on display. But hey, the mail contained a gem waiting for me, and Dean wrote a new essay.

Beautiful Writers Podcast #8 Dean Koontz

I’m off to the American Library Association conference in Philadelphia this week so no update next weekend. Maybe the Thomas & Mercer booth will have something more interesting than a flyer mentioning Dean’s latest title this year.
