Go back to the beginning.
The singular journey of Odd Thomas is approaching its unforgettable conclusion in Saint Odd. But before Odd’s destiny is revealed, this exclusive eBook story looks back—way back—to where it all began for Odd Thomas and Stormy Llewellyn, two souls who are destined to be together forever.
Amid the dizzying rides, tantalizing games of chance, and fanciful attractions of a state fair, two teenage sweethearts on the cusp of life and love’s pleasures find their way to a shadowy carnival tent brimming with curiosities. There, from the bizarre and enthralling Gypsy-Mummy, a mechanized merchant of dreams and prognosticator of tomorrows, the young couple learns what fate promises for them. But fate, for Odd Thomas and Stormy Llewellyn, is something altogether different: full of dark corners, sharp edges, and things no seer or soothsayer could ever anticipate.
And for Odd Thomas, a gallant fry-cook from a sleepy California desert town, the future beckons—to listen to unquiet spirits, pursue unsettling mysteries, and learn shocking truths . . . for a purpose far greater than himself.

More than 300 people attended the Choose Nursing, Choose Hoag luncheon presented by the Hoag Hospital Foundation this month.
Novelist Dean Koontz was the keynote speaker, according to a news release.
The event, held Sept. 17 at the Balboa Bay Resort in Newport Beach, recognized more than $2 million raised during the past year, setting a record for 363 scholarships awarded to nurses at Hoag, the release said.
Choose Nursing, Choose Hoag has raised more than $24 million since the organization was formed 10 years ago. It has provided more than 600 scholarships for nurses’ “continued education, training and advanced degrees,” the release said.
The product page on the Cemetery Dance Web site now lists the full table of contents for this volume. (Not that Dean’s contribution is a surprise.) Right now it looks like copies of all three editions are still available for pre-order.

From “Book Collector: Furry Scribes”
Celebrity canine Trixie Koontz comes from a very distinguished line of scribes, starting with her best friend, the legendary suspense author Dean Koontz. Even though she is now deceased, the spirit of Trixie is keeping pace with the elder Koontz, having just released her third book, Bliss to You. Her two previous books were Life is Good! andChristmas is Good! In addition to currently having her own newsletter, Trixie News, a memoir and series of children’s books by Trixie are also in the works.
When I wrote to Dean Koontz to see if he could pull any strings in snagging me an autograph from Trixie, he came through with an inscribed bookplate boasting both his autograph as well as his authorized rendering of Trixie’s name and paw print. (www.deankoontz.com)
Calling all crime thriller fans! ITV favourite Bradley Walsh presents this six-part series celebrating the very best of crime thriller fiction and TV.
Each week, Bradley is joined by some of the stars of the biggest crime thriller shows, gives us a privileged peek behind the scenes of upcoming new crime dramas, and plays quizmaster as he sets out to find a ‘Criminal Mastermind’.
Culminating in the glittering Crime Thriller Awards 2014 – the ‘Oscars’ of the crime thriller world – this series delivers exclusive access to the stars and sets of some of Britain’s best known crime thriller programmes – including much-loved shows like DCI Banks, Whitechapel and Silent Witness – as well as gripping new dramas like the BBC’s Interceptor.
Each week, Bradley interrogates a leading actor from a major crime thriller – including the likes of Robert Glenister and Stephen Tompkinson – and casts a forensic eye over the career of a literary Living Legend, profiling blockbuster authors including Robert Harris, Dean Koontz, Lynda La Plante, Michael Connelly, and Wire In The Blood creator Val McDermid.
Across the series, Bradley’s also aided and abetted by renowned authors including Adele Parks, Peter James, Mark Billingham and Kate Mosse, who join him to help review an outstanding new crime thriller book of the week – and we hear what inspired their creators, including Lucie Whitehouse, James Carol and Peter May.
Plus, we get to enjoy some chilling, entertaining, and unforgettable clips from TV’s biggest and best-loved crime thriller shows, as Bradley and his guests try to identify the components of a classic crime drama.
These are all the details I gave at this time. IMDB doesn’t even list this season yet. When I find out the details about the episode that will include Dean I’ll be sure to post them here.
