when my daughter was little, she was in dance classes. the teacher had a father and daughter dance for their recital. Boy I did not want to do it. But I did. out of 100 only 9 of us showed up to learn the dance. It was to Rockin Robin. It was a fun memory i would of missed out on. my daughter is 42 now, enjoy this time you can never go back.

Really looking forward to The Stand themed anthology, if I'm (and our troubled world) still alive. The Stand was the first King novel I really loved. Thank you for keeping this newsletter available to all of us. Peace, dude.

There is absolutely nothing better than being there for your children, Brian.

I also lost years with my son due to parental kidnapping and it was horrible. I'm so very sorry that happened to you as well.

I am a huge fan of yours not just because of your writing but because of how great of a human being you are which I've gleaned from your posts.

Congratulations on The Stand anthology! If it becomes too large you can always do two books, hint hint.

Please give my sincere congratulations to Mary. I have never read comics with the one exception of Joe Hill's and feel like I would be lost if I began now. I am slightly envious when I see all of you discussing them as I discuss a series of books with my reading friends.

Very excited for The Stand anthology. And you definitely made the right decision in canceling. It’s important to be there for special moments like that.

Though you was missed at Brownsville Screams, you 100% made the right choice.

Hey there Brian, just has a medical appointment in home. I was playing your station while it was ongoing and he was into it and wanted more info. We talked about our mutual love of metal, horror books & of course zombies so I sent him your radio station links and my fav list of your books. That of of course meant your entire library. https://www.orderofbooks.com/authors/brian-keene/ I don't want him to miss anything. He rocks out between home visits to relieve stress and reads at home for the same purpose. Please let me know what link I should share for your library of books if not the one above. Thanks for all you do.
