Wow, I don’t know. I’ll check Stephen King’s site. I bet they have a forum where it’s come up before.

Thanks,

Rick

I really enjoyed the book. Can you tell me who the real narrator is on the audio book? I’d like to hear more of her narrated books. Thanks!

Jenn,

Glad that you liked it. I really enjoyed writing it. Druse was a work-for-hire for Hyperion (Disney’s publishing arm) and done in connection with ABC’s Stephen King’s Kingdom Hospital. The idea was to pretend that Eleanor Druse had really written her own journals. I think it might have spoiled the fun if I put my name on it, though I would have been happy to do so.

I dabble in horror (usually in tandem with satire), see e.g., White Man’s Grave, my second novel. I have a couple of horror screenplays in various stages of development hell.

Thanks for your interest.

I really enjoyed this novel and the technique you used for perspective. I was just wondering why you didn’t want to put your name on the book, even if it was as little as the lettering for FICTION at the bottom. So many of the reviews still think the novel is by Stephen King even though he gives you full and well deserved credit.
