The American Library Association was a blast and very exhausting once again. Walking around a six-week-old knee didn’t exactly help. Amazon didn’t even have a flyer featuring Dean this year, so no satisfaction on that front. I’m still digging out of my emails and cataloging all the ARCs I brought home, so I’ve had time for just one new entry this week. However, I have half a dozen things on deck, including a fun announcement for next week. Stay tuned.

I’m off to the American Library Association annual conference midweek and won’t be back until mid-next week. So, no update next Sunday, and maybe not the one after that. Based on the past two conferences, Amazon will be there, but don’t expect anything Koontz-related from them other than maybe a flyer with the next cover on it.

The knee replacement is healing nicely so sitting at a desk was a lot more comfortable this week. Also, when new items arrive, they tend to take priority over adding things from the archives.

Still recovering from my knee replacement, so I’m not up to a lot of at-desk work. However, a little gem about a remake of The Funhouse was posted on Reddit. Shown here and on the link below.

The new knee is healing well, but I’m still not up for extended time at a desk. However, I still have these two new items for you this week.

This week, I’ll be having full replacement surgery on my left knee. I’m told I’ll be on some serious pain meds for at least a week. So please don’t expect any updates next week. I do plan to pre-schedule some Throwback Thursday posts, so keep an eye out for them. In the meantime, enjoy this recent interview.

Just one new item this week with an interesting/unique copyright statement that includes “…the Koontz Living Trust dated July 11, 1994”. This definitely implies that the trust has been around quite a while, even though it’s only been the holder of new copyrights for a few years now.
