King on The Killing
Posted: December 11, 2011, 20:34
_
From the 12/16/11 issue of Entertainment Weekly:
Like others, I was dismayed by The Killing’s decline from event television to plain old series television. But even if the destination sucked, the journey was still a pleasure. Ms. [Mireille] Enos was stunningly good as the job-obsessed Linden, and the prickly camaraderie that developed between her and Holder was a joy to watch. Better yet, in The Killing we had a series that showed the true consequences of murder for those left behind. I ended up not caring a whole lot about who killed Rosie Larsen, but I cared a great deal about her grieving family.

Brosnan talks Bag of Bones
Posted: December 9, 2011, 11:21

Pierce Brosnan, who plays Mike Noonan in Bag of Bones, was Ellen's first guest on Thrusday. They discuss Brosnan's family; wife, kids and house. My favorite part was when his phone rang on live TV.
The clip they showed from Bag Of Bones was great! Brosnan takes a moment to explain the movie theme, saying, "There's something for everyone." Ellen adds, "It's not a feel good movie." !
Asked if he likes scary movies, Brosnan said he does, and then said, "I love Stephen King. He is a dude! He such an amazing story teller."

Description of Wind Through the Keyhole
Posted: December 7, 2011, 11:33
_
The Wind Through the Keyhole
For readers new to Stephen King's epic 7-volume fantasy masterpiece The Dark Tower, The Wind Through the Keyhole is a stand-alone novel, and a wonderful introduction to the series. It is an enchanting Russian doll of a novel, a story within a story within a story, which features both the younger and older Roland Deschain – Mid-World's last gunslinger – on his quest to find the Dark Tower.
For the legions of fans, it is a gift of deeper insight and a chance to discover what happened to Roland and his ka-tet between the time they leave the Emerald City and arrive on the outskirts of Calla Bryn Sturgis.
We join Roland and his ka-tet as a ferocious storm halts their progress along the Path of the Beam. As they shelter from the screaming wind and snapping trees, Roland tells them not just one strange tale, but two – and in doing so sheds fascinating light on his own troubled past.
In his early days as a gunslinger, in the guilt ridden year following his mother's death, Roland is sent by his father to a ranch to investigate a recent slaughter. Here Roland discovers a bloody churn of bootprints, clawed animal tracks, terrible carnage – evidence that the 'skin-man', a shape shifter, is at work. There is only one surviving witness: a brave but terrified boy called Bill Streeter.
Roland, himself only a teenager, calms the boy by reciting a story from the Book of Eld that his mother used to read to him at bedtime, 'The Wind through the Keyhole.' 'A person's never too old for stories,' he says to Bill. 'Man and boy, girl and woman, we live for them.'
And stories like these, they live for us.

Posted: November 30, 2011, 18:54
_
Thinking about getting a copy of my book? Well, I just checked with Cemetery Dance and they told me they only have 30 copies left. I also asked them if they would be willing to give my readers a discount. After all Christmas is coming right? And they agreed. They are giving you 25% of on my book if you order it from them. That means you pay $30 instead of $40. Mot bad if you ask me.If you’re interested, here is what you should do.
1) Go to the Cemetery Dance website and add the book to your cart:
http://www.cemeterydance.com/page/CDP/PROD/lilja01
2) When you reach the PAYMENT page during the checkout process, just put the special code LILJA25 in the COUPON CODE field near the top of the page and then click the REDEEM button.
But as I said, they only have 30 copies left so hurry if you want one.
