I receive about 10,000 letters a year from readers, and in the first year after a book is published, perhaps 5,000 letters will deal specifically with that piece of work.
Dean Koontz
Image
I've always operated with a great deal of self-doubt. Every time I start a new book it's like, well, this one will destroy the career and I have to overcome that feeling especially in the first hundred pages of the book.

Image
I don't write a quick draft and then revise instead, I work slowly page by page, revising and polishing.

Sometimes there is no darker place than our thoughts, the moonless midnight of the mind.
Dean Koontz
Image
The recognition of pain and fear in others give rise in us to pity, and in our pity is our humanity, our redemption.
