Hi everyone!
I have been a lurker of this forum for many years, and a fan of Mr. King since I was about six or so. I didn't always understand what I was reading, but it was a nice ride.

I decided to join this forum mostly because I wanted to interact with other King fans, but also to make it known (in case they aren't aware) that there are several people on Amazon who use Stephen King's name to sell their works. Some have been scammed by these people. Luckily I haven't because I try to keep up with all of Mr. King's new works.

Either way, I hope to have a wonderful time here!

Just to let others know what this is about, though, there is someone else who really is named Stephen King who is selling his work on Amazon. We have let Amazon know they should make sure not to link any of "our" Stephen's work to the "other" Stephen King which they were doing for a while. Beyond that, there's not much else we can do as the person has a right to use his own name and he has stated that he is not "the" Stephen King on the Amazon page. This is a case of caveat emptor.
