To be honest, nothing. Due to some scheduling issues with my day job I only get a one-day weekend this week so I’ve got two days worth of weekend things to do today. (I”ll get a three-day weekend in two weeks to make up for it.)

But in the interest of posting something, here are some photos I took for a Facebook group of my Koontz collection. They don’t show you everything but they’ll give you a sense of the size of the collection.

Well, it’s been a about 18 months since this site launched and I can say that I’ve finally completed the move of all of the material in the printed manuscript to the site. This actually happened a few weeks ago, but wanted to be sure I hadn’t missed anything before I made this announcement.

So what’s next?

Well, there’s still new material to come out and old material to be found so that work continues. There’s also a bunch of items in two specific categories that were not to be included in the book: the erotica and the fanzines. Well, I’ll be including that material here starting this week.

But before I do, I highly encourage you to read the blog post titled Regarding the inclusion of certain pornographic titles and fanzine content on this site for important contextual information.

So, without further ado, here’s this week’s updates…

• “Dean’s Drive or Some Days in the Life of a Another Writer” (denied)
• Banger as by Ann Griffin (denied)
• The Banger’s Chick as by Ann Griffin (denied)
• Flesh as by Bob Warner (denied)
• Flesh Wager as by Ann Griffin (denied)
