one of my fav authors!! and OMG his voice is so innocent!!

[@bluewaters3100]

The Jane Hawk series is my favorite series. I am getting ready to read "The Hidden Window" which I believe is the final book of five in the series. I would love to see this as a Netflix series with Dean at the helm. I remember back in 2004 traveling cross country listening to Odd Thomas in our cassette player. We had to find A Barnes & Noble when we finished so we could purchase another Audible Koontz book for the rest of the trip. It was the best car trip ever!!

Favorite author hands down.

[@XxStonedKillerxX]

I love this mans books, Ive only read Midnight and almost finished From the Corner of His Eye, I cant get enough.

[@mickymickymike4105]

XxStonedKillerxX read "Intensity" his best work.

[@bobtaylor170]

Read "Watchers" and "One Door Away From Heaven" and "Innocence" and the "Odd Thomas" series and the "Jane Hawk" series. This guy is an amazing writer.

[@ragnarkisten]

you can't get enough you say, yet you have only read one and a half book throughout your whole life.

[@Andrew92_]

@@mickymickymike4105 I totally agree, Intensity is stunning. But Velocity, False memory and The dark river of the heart are without question masterpieces too.

[@adamarcher7847]

my favorite author! creative genius, great humor, and plays with style and genre-the best :)

[@taneekasmith5782]

He is my favorite author as well I read Mr. Murder front to back in NYC

[@alvinmarcus5780]

Great series. I've always really like Dean's books. Just a great story teller.

[@trixie898989]

Love Dean Koontz! His books just take me to another place where I can get lost in his writing. I have been reading his books since he first published. And yeah, my trixie898989 is in honor of this man (RIP dear Trixie) and my dear dad who I lost in 1989.

[@patrickc3419]

Watchers is one of the best books I ever read.

[@AM-br4ix]

Great Writer! Love his work!

[@Savior20061]

Can't say he's not a hard worker. 3-4 hour writing sessions is "short" for him! =D

[@doktordzoni]

I've read somewhere from someone who knows Dean and his wife that he was working 12 hrs per day and on Sundays 6 hrs, even in the early stages of his career.

[@xXKDizzleXxTheShizzl]

Such a good author

[@gokuvegeta1167]

Darkfall is favorite knootz books

[@catherinemichele2710]

Love Dean Koontz! I'll take his books any day over the trash that is being published now.

[@madsleonardholvik3040]

What does he think about Dostojevskij?

[@odette4798]

im here because of his "eyes Of Darkness" book that was written in 1981 in chapter 39 ( i believe) he predicts the CoronaVirus in 2020 that would be globally and no cure for it which happens to actually be happening in real life right now..

[@Earl_Richter]

Wow, eight hours a day. No wonder he's so prolific.

[@sharifhosain9891]

His eye brues are funny like tuning with each word. But i like his every book. He is genius

[@twofour8127]

That's a subtle wig!

[@mumofmany7589]

Odd Thomas. 😊 read two, and just went to the library and took out , Deeply odd, and, Saint odd. Dean, I love your odd Thomas books. For 30 ODD ( see what I did there 😊) years, I've been trying to rationalise my "experiences". I have had people knocking my door, saying, can you help me, you helped my friend, etc etc. I don't know what I have. I don't know where it came from or why it picked me. But it did. I'm not as brave as your character. To this day i try to ignore it all. But I know """"""it"""""" is still there. Waiting for me to acknowledge it. I choose not to. Life is easier and less soul destroying. Not really but I try to convince myself of that. Of course I know that you are a writer. This is just fiction. To you. I wish I could say the same about me. I know I sound like a nutcase lol. That's absolutely fine. I wish I was.

[@TomorrowWeLive]

Wow. I would never have guessed such a commercially successful 'hack' novelist didn't outline his novels. Is it even possible to 'pants' a thriller? They're so plot-driven. Well, it gives hope to a simple gardener like me.

[@marinoaguirre4683]

Quisiera saber en qué página puedo entrar pero en español Quiero saber si el libro está editado en español

[@beverlyschroeder8413]

What made him predict about the Coronavirus.?

[@JohnBruffett-tw4ul]

Thanks USA 🇺🇸 awesome book writer,thank you FBI Commander Roll from American Citizen tax payer John Robert Bruffett Junior USA bruffettusa1 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸😎🇺🇸😎🇺🇸😎🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@Victor-ky5xg]

The prediction of the coronavirus was real? If this is true you are god.

[@ccasagram]

VIMAGO or, he writes or takes credit for the programming/announcements of the NWO. Perhaps his writing is as real as his hair. I don’t know. But I smell a rat. Truth is stranger than fiction, unless your fiction is the truth!

He knows that Corona virus will outbreak

[@AA-nx8ki]

No life but writing that's sad

[@ManorHQ]

That's every 9-5 job. But at least with this one, he's happy and gets to go anywhere and everywhere he wants with the worlds he creates. With time to spare after 6pm with all the money he's made.

[@ragoonsgg589]

HE TYPES WITH TWO FINGERS?
