    I mentioned Stephen King on Rush Limbaugh's show

    Before you throw something at the computer screen, hear me out! I managed to get on Rush Limbaugh's show yesterday to discuss the idea of the American Dream in relation to unknown authors (me) who are trying to achieve it. I did not get a chance to plug my work on his show because I was asked...

    What to expect from your first author appearance ...

    Thanks, all, for reading. And to address a point: Stephen has minions who will appear at his public appearances without much prodding. Me? I'm Italian, and that means I have (thank God) a large family with members who enjoy reading, as do their friends. So it took a few calls and requests from...

    What to expect from your first author appearance ...

    Hey all, I can now say I have something in common with Stephen King! We've both done book signings at A Barnes & Noble! That's where the comparison ends. Stephen can just show up with the full knowledge people will be there, ready and waiting. Me? It takes some work to get people to show up...

    Stephen King Revival NYC Tour Stop recap!

    Hi all, I started a thread a few weeks back asking who was going to the Stephen King book signing in NYC. I attended and just blogged about it (with photos) and wanted to share it with you all. In short, it was a great experience, and I'm glad to have made some new friends on line. I hope this...

    Who's camping out in NYC for the 11/11 event?

    Wow! Thanks for all these replies! I'm getting there way early simply because I don't know what to expect tonight. I imagine I'll be in Union Square somewhere between 7:30 to 8 p.m. with my little folding chair and sleeping bag. Hell, maybe I'll buy a book before I get on line to wait. It's...

    Who's camping out in NYC for the 11/11 event?

    Hi Staropeace, I respect and understand your position. I suppose, for me, it's not just about opening up a book and seeing a signature. It's the story of getting it. It's the waiting on line that can be enjoyable, providing you're warm and next to nice people. It's the sharing of stories with...

    Thank you, Haunted. Hopefully everything will be OK and I'll meet some great people who'll be sitting next to me.

    Who's camping out in NYC for the 11/11 event?

    I've thought about that. Perhaps there will be some type of honor system among the people on line in your immediate area. Save my spot please, and I'll do it for you. At least I hope so ...

    Who's camping out in NYC for the 11/11 event?

    Hello SK fans, I'm a New Jersey resident, and I live about an hour from New York City. I called the Union Square Barnes & Noble and was informed that (and I know this isn't news to some of you) people will begin lining up for Stephen King's 11/11/14 "Revival" book signing during the evening of...

    The Dark Servant (Krampus) comes to town ...

    Hello Stephen King fans (of which I am one and am seriously considering sleeping in front of a book store in NYC to meet him on November 11), I'm Matt Manochio, and I'd like to introduce myself as an author whose debut, The Dark Servant (Samhain Publishing), hits shelves and eReaders on...

    Can someone (including Stephen) clear up the Glick/Barlow scenario? *SPOILERS*

    I agree that it was Barlow who bit Danny -- it had to be. But, what was in that crate? The answer to that question solves everything. (I think ...)

    Can someone (including Stephen) clear up the Glick/Barlow scenario? *SPOILERS*

    I appreciate the replies! First, I meant Danny Glick! Danny! I accidentally typed in the wrong Glick boy's name in my original post and am having trouble editing it on my iPhone! As for the question of who bites Danny and when, I'd love it if Stephen could chime in (I know he's busy preparing...

    Can someone (including Stephen) clear up the Glick/Barlow scenario? *SPOILERS*

    Hi all, Salem's Lot is my favorite King book, and one of my favorite novels, period. There is one part of it that has confused me for the longest time, and I'm hoping it can be answered here: Who attacks Ralphie Glick and when? The Glick boys never make it to Mark's house. Ralphie vanishes...
