Fiction

We actually have three library branches here, with the main one being downtown, an adjunct on the eastern edge, and a small room in the mall about a mile from my place. The main one is awesome: five stories tall, with banks of internet computers filling half the bottom floor. It's new, having been built just a few years ago. The land, materials and construction costs were all donated by locals. I love the place. I can sit in a comfortable chair on the 5th floor--which is surrounded by an observation deck--and look out through floor-to-ceiling windows over the river just half a mile away.

But even a good library can't carry everything, so with someone like King it's hard to find all his works. Plus half the floor space is set up for reading and studying.

Thanks for the good wishes. I've published one novel and a short story, and have just submitted another short story. I currently have three projects: I'm writing a sequel to the first book, finishing a Young Adult novel, and shopping around another completed novel. Selling is the hard part; writing is fun.

Enjoy your new privileges!
