Just finished rereading The Fireman and I have a hard time believing that Stephen did not help Joe with this book. I do not mean to be rude but the book is so damn good and so much like Stephen's writings that I keep thinking this. I am just blown away that Joe can be another King who is the MASTER. I am sure he wrote it himself because he did not even use his own surname when he started writing. He wanted help from nobody.

There was an interview by Joe saying that The Fireman was his version of his dad's The Stand. Loved all the "easter eggs". Joes' style is similar to that is his dad.

Sounds silly but I guess genetics helps? (and also seeing his Dad work so hard plus being encouraged to read and write as much as possible?)

Here ya go, Hill Lover. In 1992, King and Tabby accepted an award from the Bangor Chamber of Commerce for their generous donation which helped build the new library. Enjoy.
I wish I could find the one where he actually crosses the stage with some crutches and then throws them off (as a gag) - it would have been after the terrible road accident in 1999.

I have searched and searched but I am unable to find it.

The video you posted was very good - thanks!
