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
The Reddit AMA that didn’t happen
February 7, 2022
Dean posted this Tweet on 26 January 2022 announcing a Reddit AMA scheduled for 31 January 2022. Moments before the event was to start, the tweet was deleted and no AMA happened that I could find.
By any chance does anyone have any additional information on what happened and/or if it will be rescheduled?

Koontz news from the Writers, Ink podcast
February 3, 2022
Two interesting tidbits from Dean’s recent interview on the Writers, Ink podcast:
- RE: Quicksilver (26:40)
“I’ve been asked whether this is a series or not, but no it’s not; I think it works as a stand-alone.” - RE: The next books (47:08)
“I just signed a new five book contract and delivered the first book.”
[I’m assuming The Big Dark Sky is that first book.]

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.

Unfortunately, the live (online) event costs $40 to attend so I will not be attending. Here’s hoping they make the recording freely available once it’s over. You can find complete details on the Facebook event page.

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

We’re several people short at my day job so I’m not exactly up to working on this a whole bunch to be honest. The holiday’s aren’t going to help. But I’ll keep chugging along the best I can. I will say I’ve got some posts pre-scheduled for the next week or tow so even if there aren’t updates like these you’ll still be getting new content. Happy holidays!
