OPEN THE BOX & SEE WHAT'S INSIDE!
Stephen King has a secret. And it’s kept in a box. Sort of.

But, you know I'm going to lift the lid and sneak a peak.

And, I hope you share my curiosity and will join me for this episode of Behind the Book.

Don’t worry it’s not real scary. Except for the parts I’m in :)

Want to know a secret?

I hope so because I love sharing them. Hang on to your keyboard as we go BEHIND THE BOOK of a New York Times bestseller. Even if you haven’t read one of his books you have likely seen at least one of the movies made from his books.

So want the inside scoop? I’m going to tell you and show you but you can’t tell the author or he may get cross.

YOU KNOW THE BOOK'S SECRET BUT WHAT ABOUT THE AUTHOR'S?

And it occurs to me you may feel the same – at least a little bit. So, first up (in this edition of "Behind the Book") you're going to see The Da Vinci Code's Dan Brown singing.

No. . . seriously. You’ve got to hear this. As always thanks for reading and thanks for watching. Be sure to say hello and leave a comment after you watch the video! (more…)

Oh sure, others can read these books - in fact I want them to (wake the kids, phone the neighbors, don't worry about shopping for birthdays, Christmas or Arbor Day -- books make the perfect gift). But in your secret heart of hearts, know dear Reader, that they written for, specifically for you... (more…)

This is just a test...

May 25, 2010

This is a blog test to see if I have everything operational. Sorry about that but it’s necessary.

You see technology and I don’t always see eye to eye (it’s actually more like foot to bottom. Techno’s foot kicking my poor – but adorable – behind. And so I ask your patience. (more…)
