OMG. I am totally embarrassed. I just found this while searching. I have been searching for days. If you think it of interest to post, please do so. If not, please take down my conversation thread. It appears the story I read by "Stephen King" was not written by my beloved Stephen King and was written by someone else!!
Stephen King’s Strange E-Book History | PWxyz
But perhaps the weirdest wrinkle in Stephen King’s e-book history isn’t King himself, but
Steven King–a self-published writer with a number of horror titles on Amazon. Criticized on
the product page for his book
Tit For Tat for posing as Stephen King and tricking people into buying his book, Steven King’s
author page (as of September 18) had this to say:
IMPORTANT NOTICE!!!!! STEVEN KING is changing the name on his books to STEVEN CROWN.
After reading a review where a reader mistook SteVen King for StePHan King, the author has decided to start changing the name on his covers to Steven Crown. ALL books should be switched over by Thursday September 20th, 2012. That should avoid readers making any accidental purchases. It is not intentioned that even one reader be mislead.
Steven King has just celebrated his thirtieth birthday, and is living his dream of being a writer in his downtown Toronto loft. Steven continues to look for his life partner, and considers Tit For Tat his crowning achievement, taking 1 year to write. He hopes one day it will become a major motion picture.
He is fortunate to work as a ghost writer for three publishing companies, churning out best sellers. He graduated from the University of Toronto. His hope is to spend the rest of his life writing, next to a woman who will spend the rest of her life reading.
