Turs out that the entry for Phantoms’ “A Note to the Reader” needs a lot of work and some of those editions are still in boxes. Here’s hoping I can locate them soon.

Here I am, trying to get back into the swing of things. New editions like these print-on-demand trade paperbacks and the fact that I’ve missed a bunch of recent large print releases (forthcoming) are helping the situation.

• Darkfall POD TPBK
• The Door to December – Revised Edition POD TPBK
• Afterword to The Door to December – Revised Edition POD TPBK
• Cross references for From the Desk of Dean Koontz: Following other catastrophes, the entrepreneurial saga continues and Red Dog Bait and Me.
• Dean Koontz: 120 Novels Published. 500M Copies Sold by Appendix B

A new newsletter (with a forthcoming cross-reference) and a new appearance of Koontz Lizard. I’ve saved several new items on deck for next week in the hopes that I can get back to an item a day instead of scrambling on the weekends.

• From the Desk of Dean Koontz: Following other catastrophes, the entrepreneurial saga continues
• Vaughn Bodé’s Complete Deadbone Erotica to Appendix G(1)

I’m back from the American Library Association conference and cone again, Amazon’s book was a letdown on the Koontz front beyond a single image on a flyer and copies of The Forest of Lost Souls on display. But hey, the mail contained a gem waiting for me, and Dean wrote a new essay.

• From the Desk of Dean: The story of my first job. The important thing is… I lived.
• Amazon Publishing flyer to Going Home in the Dark
• September 2002 Mystery Scene appearance of “Oh, to Be in Cedar Rapids When the Hog Blood Flows”

I’m off to the American Library Association conference in Philadelphia this week so no update next weekend. Maybe the Thomas & Mercer booth will have something more interesting than a flyer mentioning Dean’s latest title this year.
