Stephen on Twitter

Stephen now has an official Twitter account so don't be fooled by impostors! If you'd like to follow him, select @StephenKing. We were going for StephenKingAuthor but it was too many letters. Tweets may not be frequent as he still believes you'd rather read books than Tweets so he'll be spending more time writing the books--we hope you agree!
