Interview with Dean Koontz Part Two

Interview with Dean Koontz Part Two

New York Time’s Best Selling author, Dean Koontz, is known for his stories of suspense and revelation, told with humor and heart. What he is not as readily known for is his ability to do a darn good interview. I was lucky enough to discover this when he agreed to answer some questions for my […]

Building an Author Website Step One: Pre-Nitty-Gritty

Building an Author Website Step One: Pre-Nitty-Gritty

When I was first asked to speak at the California Writer’s Club/Sacramento April’s breakfast meeting about how I’d built my website and decided on my platform and marketing strategy, my first thought was: Hold it! You’re talking to a technological greenhorn here—miss trial and error, miss whoops that didn’t work out too well, miss if you don’t at first […]

My Interview with Dean Koontz

I was surprised when Dean Koontz agreed to answer ten interview questions for my blog. However, I was not surprised that he answers were rich and entertaining.

Ugly or Beautiful: In the Eye of the Beholder

January 2, 2014 by Margaret Duarte

Ugly or Beautiful; in the eye of the beholder

If beauty is in the eye of the beholder, what about ugliness? How do we define ugly? What repulses us? And why? I posed these questions at Visionary Fiction Alliance in a review of Dean Koontz’s latest release, Innocence, in which little by little, stepby step, Koontz immerses us in ugly, until we are in ugly’s head.

Dean Koontz's INNOCENCE; Choice and Consequences

A gift: Dean Koontz’s Innocence In his latest novel INNOCENCE, Dean Koontz writes: “…there is no chance, only choice, no luck, but only consequences.” I agree, but… I could hardly believe my luck…okay, the consequence of one of my choices, when I received a gift from Dean Koontz in the mail. It was a hard cover copy of […]

Dean Koontz/Some Angels Have Fur Instead of Wings

Dean Koontz/Some Angels Have Fur Instead of Wings

Today I received a large box in the mail from Dean Koontz, dismissing any further thought that the letter I received from him on Tuesday via email might have been a hoax. Inside, I found three books, each bearing a note and signature from my now number one favorite author.
