Caption : My alcoholic father was a threat, not a father. My mom was a good and loving person but often very ill, not able to cope with my dad, and rightly fearful of the future. My father’s family contained many profoundly troubled people that it was wise to avoid, and many people in my mother’s family were emotionally remote. Essentially, I raised myself, not always well. In fact, I sometimes marvel that I avoided earning a position on the FBI’s Most Wanted list.

Caption : Here’s what I used to do: If someone asked if I was Dean Koontz, I pretended not to know who that was. If the person insisted, I flew into a rage and said that I knew I resembled Dean Koontz, that I’d had multiple painful surgeries to correct that affliction, and that Dean Koontz——fiend that he is——mocked me by having the same plastic surgery I had in order to preserve the resemblance between us. I discovered my readers were too intelligent to fall for this. Ever since, I have admitted to my identity and wish I had done so in the past, because everyone is always nice and flatters me more than I deserve.

Caption : Robin, I’m sorry to hear about sweet Misha. The grief endures for quite a while, but in time what you have is not a sense of loss but a sweet memory of the love and joy that you received from that special relationship. Unlike humans, dogs are innocents and remain innocent all their lives; therefore, if there is a life beyond this one, they are guaranteed eternity and are gone from here to a better world. There is always another dog that needs us——and we always need that dog in turn.

Caption : It’s necessary to write for yourself, what you love and what inspires you. Someone once said (I wish I could remember who), that writing for the approval of the literary elites is a mistake, because in time you will come to realize that most of them, being human, are fools; and writing for posterity is no better because there’s no reason to suppose the elites a century from now will be any wiser than those of the present. Besides, the world is full of people who will tell you that you can’t succeed because they take pleasure in the failures of others. It’s a mistake to let them in your head.

If it’s snail mail, I try to answer every letter. The volume of email to the website is more than I can handle, but I’m grateful for that, too. In my early days as a novelist, the only people who wrote me were friends and relatives, who were mostly writing to ask me to stop writing to them.

Caption : The fastest book to write in the past 30 years was probably THE TAKING, about 4 months of 60-hour weeks. The longest was FROM THE CORNER OF HIS EYE, which took a year of 60- and even some 70-hour weeks. I’ve always been aware that I’m no good at anything else and have no chance of getting a day job, so I better buckle down and do this.
