The Whispering Room

February 10, 2017

Did you see this on Dean’s blog post about The Silent Corner?

I had so much fun with Jane that I knew at the end of THE SILENT CORNER that I had only begun to peel the layers of this fascinating character. I have now finished the second book with her, THE WHISPERING ROOM, and I had even more fun with this one. What Jane has to face this time is beyond daunting, beyond just terrifying, and had me anxiety breathing through the last half of the book. Elsa, our dog, had to calm me by giving me belly rubs, a rather embarrassing role reversal.

There’s no Amazon listing or any other I can find but I’ll be sure to post more as info is released.

Author Dean Koontz Signs With Brillstein, Inkwell

January 9, 2017

Author Dean Koontz has signed with New York-based lit boutique Inkwell Management in all areas, and with Brillstein Entertainment Partners for film and television. Koontz, who has sold over 500 million books in 38 languages, has been without agency representation for several years, so look for him to become more active in having his thriller novels adapted. He had been and continues to be lawyered by Richard Heller at Frankfurt Kurnit Klein & Selz. Inkwell’s Richard Pine and Kim Witherspoon, and Brillstein’s Jon Liebman and Missy Malkin are his new reps.

Dean is one of the Fab 40

December 19, 2016

During a recent stop at George’s Song Shop in downtown Johnstown, I got some advice from the man himself.
John George, a local historian as well as a merchant and music buff, really liked a recent series in The Tribune-Democrat featuring individuals who had made their mark in the Johnstown region, or who were from here and had gone on to success in various fields.
You should turn that into a book, George suggested – then was pleased to learn that his idea was already in the works.
Now, the book “Fab 40” is available just in time for the holidays.
The title is actually a bit of a misnomer. “Fab 40” contains 80 profiles – 40 featuring local icons of sports and another 40 for individuals in entertainment, business and science.
Robin Quillon, publisher of both The Tribune-Democrat and Johnstown Magazine, was looking to produce a compact book in the “flip” format – two covers, two themes.
So, you can start reading “Fab 40” from either end.

…of Dean Koontz Fame

From the Bleeding Cool article “Dan Brereton Covers Kolchak For Moonstone”:

Best-selling author Ed Gorman (of Dean Koontz’s “Frankenstein” fame) and Ricky Sprague pens this original graphic novel of demonic pandemonium.

Obviously the author of this article is not a big Ed Gorman fan.

Happy 71st Birthday Dean!

Dean on Anton

June 20, 2016

When Stephen Sommers, the director, told me there was only one person he wanted for the role of Odd Thomas and that his choice was “the best actor of his generation,” I had never heard of Anton Yelchin. I was dubious. Then I educated myself and began to think Steve might have made a good choice. When I saw the finished film with a test audience, within five minutes, Anton had so knocked me out with his performance that I couldn’t see anyone else as Odd.

Fan Sues Dean Koontz for Signed Editions

May 1, 2016

LAS VEGAS (CN) – It’s not a book by Stephen King: It’s a lawsuit from a fan of Dean Koontz, who says the best-selling author refuses to return signed works the fan values at $188,000.
Raymond Davis sued Koontz on Monday in Clark County Court, alleging fraud, conversion, breach of contract and unjust enrichment.
Davis says he acquired a large collection of Koontz’s books, many of them signed, through a friend, John Paul Bodner. Bodner gave his Koontz collection to Davis in 2012, and died a year later.

This should have been posted ages ago but Target pulled a fast one on me and despite my having pre-ordered thier signed edition by months and using a legit CC, they finally told me my CC was bad and the book was no longer available. So, I had to pay a premium through ABE Books to get a copy. 🙁
