Notes
This was the first title to omit the “R.” from Dean R. Koontz. According to a letter from Dean to Jim Schendel, postmarked March 1999:
“When my publishers began to feature my name in large type on the book covers, on two lines instead of one, the “R.” dangling at the end of the first line was…well, bad design. So I asked them to drop it.”
A review and an ad for Dragon Tears appear on pages 16 and 30 respectively in The Overlook Connection #21, 1993.
“Barone heads for Channel” by Claudia Eller, Variety, 1993
