We also found out that the man posing as Bachman on the cover of Thinner was in fact Richard Manuel from Roseville, Minnesota, a suburb adjacent to St. Paul and Minneapolis where he worked with energy-efficient housing.
Manuel was a friend of King’s literary agent, Kirby McCauley and agreed to pose as Bachman and according to himself he kept the secret.
”I didn't tell anybody, I was sworn to secrecy. Some friends called and said 'Hey, Dick, there's a guy that looks like you who's writing books in New Hampshire.' Even my sister called and said that.”
