As an ambitious, self-made writer, Dean Koontz rose from obscurity to bestseller status with a planned, meticulous approach to the business of writing that set its own rules. His life serves as a veritable blueprint for struggling writers, as he refused to compromise, readily accepted the hard knocks, and went full-steam ahead until he achieved and exceeded his goals. In the process he created the cross-genre style, which mixes humor and romance with science fiction, horror, psychological suspense, and thrillers. This is a unique portrait of a gifted writer who possessed the emotional strength and tenacity to go the distance, and whose remarkable career has lasted nearly five decades since his first publication. |
