I really like your post. Does it copyright protected?

Hi KattyBlackyard (GREAT name there…) — not sure I understand your question about copyright. Since you’re on the books page, are you asking if the books are copyrighted? (They are.) Pls clarify if you’d like to. Thanks!

Hi Larry:

I commented the other day on your review of Colin Harrison’s work, and I wanted to come back because I just finished “Darkness Bound.”

AMAZING book. Seriously, amazing. Especially the last hundred pages. I kept going back and forth, trying to figure out who I should hate, and I wouldn’t want to leave any spoilers here but when I thought that one main character was going to totally screw over another character, I had a visceral reaction, and very few writers can produce that in me.

Most of the books I read are predictable, but you somehow managed to keep me jumping around from one guess to the next throughout the book. You managed to confront some of the most uncomfortable and most human emotions and desires in the book, but without preaching. It takes a strong writer to let the reader come to his or her own conclusions about a controversial situation (or ten controversial situations).

Koontz is one of the only authors whose books I’ll read over and over again, but I’ll read “Darkness Bound” again as well.

I’m going to read “Pressure Point” next, and I’ll pick up the other two next time I’m at the bookstore. Are you coming out with anything new this year?

Wow, you sure know how to make a writer feel, well, like it’s all worthwhile. Thank you for this gift, Laura. Down the road I hope to see Dilon and The Dark Lady doing their dance on the silver screen. I’m thinking Tom Cruise and Angelina.

Thanks again. Wow.
