I have several old Dean Koontz books. Good author. I liked his books
better than Stephen King's books. I used to tell people that Dean Koontz
wrote like a grown up Stephen King.

I've never heard of Jane Hawk. Maybe I should try one.

It's a series of 5 novels about Jane's fight against evil oppressive
technology in her quest for justice , truth , and freedom . The
surveillance technology in the book is possible (and probably in use)
right now ...

Same feeling. Steven King books generally are not very good with rare
exception. They DO make good movies overall.

King did a collaboration with Peter Straub called Black House that was
very good . Wife and I are big Koontz fans , we have somewhere around
(or over...) of his novels in our book collection .

In the early 1980's, I saw him live here for a lecture at the Oceanfront
Library (I think). It was mainly his biography and for aspiring authors.
I seem to remember that he said he didn't start writing until he was
about age 40. First manuscript was sent out to book publishers and all
of them rejected it. Rather than give up, he sent it back to the same
companies a second time. Second time, one picked it up. That started his
career as a successful author.

Also...that night he started out by saying, "Do excuse me. I have a cold
but don't worry, I brought plenty of vitamin B with me."

He opened up his sports jacket to reveal 6 pockets sewn inside and each
one contained a can of beer. LOL Vitamin B(eer) That was funny.

A couple of days later in the newspaper's "Letters to the Editor," it
was all complaints about his "offensive" beer joke.

"There were children there! What kind of example was that to show?"

I was there and didn't see any children in the crowd. Even if there was
a few, big deal. It's the parents job to explain things to their children.

And this "politically correct" nonsense has only gotten worse and worse
ever since.
