The King

I'm a big fan of Stephen King. I find that his work is so full of feeling that when I read certain novels or stories, I actually...well, FEEL something. It honestly had me spooked, and I shed a tear or two reading The Green Mile. As a writer and a fan of Stephen King, imagine my delight when I found out that he actually wrote a book on writing!
I read it for the first time a few years ago; it was interesting to hear his back story straight from him, and I have always loved that he is from, and lives, a few hours north of where I live. And when he gives his advice on the writing process -- whenever I read those parts, I automatically want to start writing my own fiction. I typically stick with writing the nonfiction of the college literature class essay, and I'm quite good at it if I may say so myself. But more and more I find myself wanting to sit down and write down some possible ideas for fiction. And I know reading On Writing is going to come in super handy.

HORROR SYMPOSIUM WITH THE MASTER HIMSELF, STEPHEN KING

Hello patrons,

I want to let you know about a VERY exciting event we have happening this Halloween.

October 31, 2011, we will host a Horror symposium at the Capitol Center for the Arts in Concord with the master of the genre himself, the one and only Stephen King.

There will be an hour of King telling his own story, and then an hour-long question and answer session. Questions may be dropped in the box on the counter of The Book Nook; as many as possible will be chosen and asked to Mr. King.

Tickets start at $25.00; see the Capitol Center's website, www.ccanh.com, for further information.

We hope to see you there!
