Hi everyone!

I'm a huge King fan - since I read Salem's Lot without my parents knowing, late at night with a flashlight. Anytime a branch scratched the window, I was terrified!

Anywho, I wrote a book. I thought it was romance. Then my publisher, The Wild Rose Press, said, "Uh, Kat. It's horror." It had romance, but I went back to my King roots for love of the creepy and weird and I guess it really came through in the book. Hell Horror.com even liked it and romance readers told me they had to read it "with the lights on" -

Anywho, I wanted to be among horror fans. See what you all are reading and see if anyone would give a new author a chance and maybe check out The Seer's Lover on Amazon.

How old were you when you read your first King novel?

Have a great weekend!
Kat

...Hey Kat!...nice to have you here...I was but a young and callow lad of 12 or so when I was absorbed into the King Collective...pretty much all I read these days other than Dean Koontz, King's talented offspring-Joe & Owen and some re-reads of Skipp & Spector...
