Hello All, especially Mr. King! I am an eighth grade teacher in far west Texas who has been a fan since I was 15. Thirty-six years ago I read Carrie. I have been horrified ever since. Imagine my delight when 3 of my boys proposed Mr. King as their leader with a legacy for the annual National History Day project (Google it). They showed me that there is, indeed, hope for this generation as they read and watch the best horror as well (and they love Harry Potter, too)! They would love to ask Mr. King questions for their project, and I would simply be awestruck in my Boston hat and tee (I'd have to get permission to wear them to school, but I'd do it). I guess that introduces me for now!

Thanks all! It is great to have students who love an author that I do. I am still trying to find them an opportunity to speak to Mr. King. That would be so cool! One of my groups got an interview with Stephen Spielberg's publicist, so I can still dream for these kids!

We won't be working on his 2015 schedule for at least another month or two and unfortunately he doesn't do Skype interviews so that limits the options.
