:: Livin' Next Door to Koontz ::

Submitted by TL Hines on Wed, 10/22/2008 - 21:43.

So I get a lot of email and comments from people who say my work reminds them of Dean Koontz. Which is flattering, to say the least--Koontz being one of the biggest, and most successful, names in all of fiction. And, particularly, one of the biggest names in downright bizarre fiction, which happens to be my neighborhood.

So I love when I get mentioned in the same breath as Koontz. Really, how could I not?

Imagine my delight, then, when I wander by Amazon today to check on my latest book, The Unseen (did I mention it's on shelves now?), and find it paired up with Koontz's In Odd We Trust for a package promotion.

Really, how cool is that? For Dean Koontz, maybe not so much. But for me, well, let's just say I grabbed a screen capture to keep.

And he is my personal favorite too, way over King now in my opinion. I have every one of his books, and yes its way cool your book was next to his book.I was checking Amazon out today and looked you up to see if you snuck in a fourth book without telling, but nope, you didn't and since I already have your three here, there was nothing new to buy.
(yes, I know snuck is not a real word or they wouldn't have just underlined it)

Working on revisions for my fourth book, "Faces in the Fire," even as we speak--it should sneak onto shelves Summer of 09.

Wow, very cool! I saw Dean

Wow, very cool! I saw Dean Koontz at ComicCon this year (along with 3,000 other attendees). He was funny, though a little uncomfortable in that environment, I think. He was there promoting his first foray into the graphic novel medium.

Howdy! This is my first time

Howdy!
This is my first time on your blog. Congrats on getting paired with Koontz!

Looking forward to more!

Found you through Bruce Judisch

Hi, I was 'chatting' with Bruce Judisch and he mentioned you so I came over to see what you are all about.

I immediately went to my library link and put all your books on hold.

I'm in the middle of 'Adam' by Ted Dekker right now and am happy to have some more interesting-looking books in my reading cue.

I loved your blog post about the 'marital arts knives.' Too funny!

Best to you,
