Some pictures I found recently of chalk sketches of the great writer himself.
Stephen King is obviously a very accomplished writer. In fact, he has reached the level almost of a legend, and has contributed enormously to American letters as one of the most successful and prolific writers in history.
But he is much more than that, of course.
He is also a very generous spirit, who seems to want the very best for his community, for his country, and for his world overall.
Not surprisingly, he has an upcoming book, The Bazaar of Bad Dreams, which will be a mixture of short stories and other new writings, as well as some insights on writing. In that regard, it will have similarities to On Writing, a book that he wrote shortly after his accident, and which combined aspects of autobiography with some tips for writers, as the title suggests. It is set to be released in early November.
Before that, however, King has another novel, Finders Keepers, set for release. The cover art is very reminiscent of his recent novel from last year, Mr. Mercedes. Indeed, there will be other similarities between these two books, although this new one will feature an individual completely obsessed with a writer. This will be the first time that he has written a novel about an obsessed fan since Misery, which means it has been many years. That will be coming out in June.
Plus, there is all sorts of other news concerning King with movies and the Under the Dome television series, which I already posted about not long ago.
Looks good, and I already appreciate the writing tips, which have already given me some considerable pause for thought as a writer.
