The after noon was spent at the ASDA supermarket where King would do a signing. There wheren’t that many people there until about an hour before the signing started but then there where a lot...and I meen A LOT.I got to meet up with a lot of old and new friends and we had a really good time. At 5PM King entered and the line started to move. When we got to King we where told no cameras where alowed. At first bumed out we soon found out that there where a lady taking photos of us with a polaroidcamera and then giving out the photo as we left. A very good idea!
This time I didn’t say anything to King except “Thanks” and extracted my hand. At the same second he reached for his glass of Coke and there where a second of total confusion. Then he put forward his left hand and I shook that...

So, today started with a press conference arranged by the FPA. I was offcourse there in good time and got a front row seat, just about 2 meters from King. There where a photosession for 2 minutes, a Q&A for about 40 minutes and then King signed books (I got the ticket for the Battersea Park reading signed).I also got to ask King a question and I decided to asked him about the new Bachman book that he mentioned at the reading. He then said that he found it in his basement, that it’s from 1973 and that the title is Blaze. This book has been known to fans for quite a while and it’s nice that King has finally decided to publish it.
No date has been set but King said it would need some updating first so it may be a while...
Lilja meets King...again

Yesterday I was at a publisher party, arranged by King’s UK publisher Hodder & Stoughton, in London. And yes, you guessed it, King was there as well and I got a chance to speak with him for a few minutes. Since the conversation was a lot longer then at the signing I can’t recap it all here but I can tell you what we said when I got a second chance to talk to him just as he was leaving.Lilja: It’s a real honor to finally meet you!
King: It’s an honour to meet you to.
And with that he was of in the night. I was left with a very nice feeling, a copy of Lisey’s Story, a promotional paperweight (they where giving them away at the party) AND a picture of King and me!
Just as I was planning on leaving I ran into Robin Furth and got a VERY nice chat with here. She told me that 3 issues of The Dark Tower comic was already done and that it looks amazing. No one will be disapointed with it, that is for sure.I also got a chance to talk to a lot of people from Hodder & Stoughton, including King’s proofreader...and it turned out to be an extreamley nice evening.

Finally, 12 hours after I left Sweden I stod face to face with King. It was at Borders in London and I think I pulled it of without sounding to crazy.King: Hi How are you?
Lilja: Fine and you?
King: Fine.
Lilja: Are your hand tired?
King: No it’s OK, it’s on autopilot.
And then it was over...
Lilja and King in the UK...
