My long weekend turned into a “things need to get fixed so get them fixed” weekend. I’ll just mention the $500 repair to our refrigerator and not go any further. As a result, there are still a bunch of updates but not nearly as many as I’d hoped.

• Updated Bliss to You leash photo
• Updated Chase UK HC image
• Put the Odd Hours releases into proper order and added an image for the bonus MP3-CD audiobook edition
• A list of “errors” that readers have found in Quicksilver

As for next weekend, I’ll be out of town for a business trip so please don’t expect an update next Monday.

Most new things are relatively easy to add to the site. Then there are the times that someone notices that there are at least four different states to, of all things, a book club edition. There would have been more updates this week but I spent way more time than expected on that one particular entry.

• From the Desk of Dean: Quicksilver – Available Now!
• Quickilver trailer
• Updated details of and indicators for mulitple printings of the Sahdowfires as by Leigh Nichols BCE.
• Writers, Ink Podcast: Episode 120 to Appendix B

Quicksilver’s shiny cover makes it basically impossible to scan, so this entry gets a photo instead. The reflection of room colors still annoys me though.

• Quicksilver trade hardcover cover, details, and additional promotional images
• Bliss to You promotional dog leash photo
• The Long Leash Podcast #20 Dean Koontz: Best-Selling Author and Massive Dog Lover to Appendix B
• Financial Times interview (January 2022) to Appendix B

So Michael, why isn’t this item on the site yet? Great question. Well, I have a day job with a daily 2-hour commute so that definitely doesn’t help. Then, there’s just the overwhelming amount of material “in the queue.” Here’s a screenshot of just the “Koontz to Deal With” folder on my desktop. (Which isn’t all of it as I couldn’t get a scrolling screenshot of Windows folder…)

And then there are the paper files. I’ll spare you that description.

So, with that here’s this week’s updates.

• Bookish with Sandra Tsing Loh, Lisa See, Peggy Orenstein and Dean Koontz to Appendix B
• Screenshots from Fear Street Part 1 to Dragon Tears and The Servants of Twilight
• Talking Audible with Dean Koontz to Appendix B
• How do you tailor your writing… to Appendix B

This is both the joy and frustration of collecting Dean’s work and related items. Turns out a band named Solid Base released a track based on A Darkness in My Soul back in 1982. I had no clue this existed until this week despite the album having its own Wikipedia entry mentioning this connection. The original cassette release is almost impossible to find but the 2017 vinyl release is in print and available from Dark Entries. (An extra bonus for me is that I’m a long-time Doctor Who fan too…)

• “A Darkness in My Soul” by Solid Base
