I just wanted to write a message to Mr. King with nothing in return. In 1975 I was a 15 year old (and very pretty) lonely girl living in Presque Isle, Maine. That was when I picked up my first book by him which was "Carrie". I had a lot in common with her character. I stayed up all night till 3:00 a.m. and finished that book and have been hooked ever since. I am now a 58 year-old Rock'n Granny with two beautiful grand kids but sadly I'm a mom of an adult son who is battling heroin addiction. After reading Dr. Sleep, I was going through an extremely tough time and almost felt suicidal but strangely enough, Danny Torrence's character gave me a sense of hope that one day my son will face his demons and grow from his experience and possibly have a wonderful life as an outcome.
Anyway, I just wanted to let Mr. King know that If it weren't for him when I was that lonely little teenager, Don Kirshner's Rock Concert and Saturday Night Live, I probably wouldn't be on this crazy earth.
Thank you for your wonderful stories and as long as you keep writing, I will keep reading until I can no longer......then there is also Joe Hill!!
Devotedly,
KimD (Dumais in Presque Isle Days - Also, my mother's maiden name was Ouellette, how about that one)!!
