Tickets to hear King speak as a last-minute addition to Florida State University's eighth annual Seven Days of Opening Nights arts festival will go on sale at 11 a.m. on Valentine's Day.
The best-selling author of such scary classics as "Carrie," "The Shining" and "Cujo," will give a talk at 8 p.m. on Feb. 26 in Ruby Diamond Auditorium. Tickets are $7 for students and $15 for the general public.
King agreed to step in as a substitute for Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist Richard Russo ("Empire Falls"), who canceled his appearance last week because of a medical emergency in his family.
"The best and most efficient way to purchase King tickets is online at www.sevendaysfestival.org or www.tickets.fsu.edu," FSU special-projects director Fran Conaway said.
Orders also can be placed by calling 644-6500 or in person at the FSU Fine Arts Ticket Office, corner of Copeland and Call streets.
All tickets purchased earlier for the Russo reading will be honored at the King appearance, which is open-seating. Those who wish to get a full refund for their Russo tickets should contact the Fine Arts Ticket Office.
Thanks to Bev Vincent.

Pre-order Lisey's Story today

Here are some words about it from Barnes And Noble:
Lisey's Story is a wondrous novel of marriage, a love story steeped in strength and tenderness, and cast with the most vivid, touching and believable characters in recent literature. I came to adore Lisey Landon and her sisters, I ached for Scott and all he'd been through, and when I finally reached the bittersweet and heartfelt conclusion, my first thought was that I wanted to start over again from the beginning, for it felt as if were saying good-bye to old friends. This is Stephen King at his finest and most generous, a dazzling novel that you'll thank yourself for reading long after the final page is turned.

Willa, Florida book and another hard boiled detective story
Posted: January 22, 2006, 21:57
_
The story King read is called Willa and is about 7500 words according to King. Without giving too much away, it is the story of a man's search for his wife after they get off a train. King said that he wrote the story based on the final image he would read in the story, and then worked from there. Much more then that can't be told without giving it all away, but there are some very vivid and well-defined characters, and the story has a great mood and very poetic tone to it. No word on when it'll be released yet though...
King also told the audience that he's contemplating a Florida book soon, he has an idea for it, but he explained that he and his wife had been spending a lot of time here and he wanted to develop a "texture" for the landscape before writing.
Here is a quote from the St Pete Times article about the event:
"Stephen King, who has been a part-time resident of Sarasota for several years, told a packed auditorium at Eckerd College that he is nearly ready to set a novel in his adopted state. 'You have to get a little bit of texture for a place, ' King said, 'We've been down herenow spending about half the year since 1998. I think I have an idea for a book'"
King also mentioned that he had another hard boiled detective story in the works.

Dennis Lehane introduced King and then fielded questions pre-filled out by the crowd for Stephen King. It went from 8pm to about 9:30pm, for a very receptive crowd... people of ALL ages. King made a brief comment about the crowd being asked to turn off their cell phones and launched into a very funny and thorough story about how he came up with the idea for the novel and promoted it's release several times throughout the night.
If anyone took any photos from the event, please let me know.
Thanks to Ed Yarb and Judith.
