What book are you talking about? I've lost track, lol, and I think I'll have to add it to my must-read-soon list given the curiosity inspired by the spoiler in your comment, Dustin. :-)

Do we? Please elaborate :-) Use spoilers if needed. Thanks."
Dustin, please. Don't make me say it. I'll sound crazy. Really, you don't have any assignment of identity for her? Think man. I mean, Odd is about becoming a saint...

[Dustin the wind Crazy little brown owl, Colorful Colorado]

Jen LD - see my spoiler post two comments above your last comment :-) I made Crazy my middle name so I can say pretty much what ever I want and get away with it.

and to the other Jen, We meet Annamaria in book four of the Odd Thomas series, Odd Hours. She is also in Odd Interlude, Odd Apocalypse and we will likely see her again next month in book six, Deeply Odd :-)

I really must read this series! Preferably sometime soon (though sometime in 2012 is probably a better goal to have). :-)

Thanks for letting me know, Dustin!

So Jen, do you think Annamaria is [spoilers removed]
I'm very curious as to your thoughts :-)"

Yes, that's who I think she is. But I do not know why, or how it would work out. I think perhaps DK sees her as perpetually with child. Sort of the Virgin of Guadeloupe perhaps...I do not know how to make this a spoiler comment! Hope no one minds. Many great saints seem to have a close relationship with Mary and I think that's what Oddy is modeling. Notice she isn't involved with the action at all but he always returns to her, checks in. She seems to know everything that's happening. I would love to talk to DK about this. Do we ever submit questions or have chats? Our old book club did that with our author once in a while.

Did you know 2012 is over? We are already nearly a quarter of the way through 2013 now! :-)

I wish :-) I would suggest writing DK via snail mail with paper and stamp and let us know what he says when he responds.

[Dustin the wind Crazy little brown owl, Colorful Colorado]

FYI the instructions for spoiler and other nifty goodreads things such as bold and italic text and what not can be found in the box where you would write a new comment - look in the upper right corner of the Comment box and you will see a link that says (some html is ok) click on that and see. formatting involves using these pointing brackets<> and this back slash line / and other words or letters inside the pointy brackets. :-) Good Luck

Darn it! You know, I never once wrote 2012 instead of 2013 when the year changed, but then out of nowhere I did so five times between April 9th and 10th!

[Amy S]

don't you hate it when that happens

Amy S wrote: "don't you hate it when that happens"

Yes!!!!! lol and I hate it especially when I've been writing it properly for over three months! I have no idea why all of a sudden on those two days I put last year instead of this year. I thought about it at the time and couldn't come up with why.

[Jen LD]

A few weeks ago, I wrote my home phone from when I was a kid....Hasn't been my phone number in 25 years...

[Jen]

Oh wow. How curious! I keep wanting to give my old phone number in place of my now-main cell number, but I only just gave up my old phone number when I moved in January.

As for the number I had as a child, every once in awhile (and just last night, in fact!) I'll see if I still have it in my memory banks. So far, I do. But I can't remember anyone else's phone numbers from back then, no matter how hard I try.

[Suzanne]

Hi, I'm Sue, Dean Koontz is one of the best mystery writers out there. I sporadically read his books. I have read almost all of them. I am presently reading Odd Apacolypse. It really is out there.

[Suzanne]

Oh, by the way, I am new to this site. I am from beautiful Manitoba, Canada.

[Dustin the wind Crazy little brown owl, Colorful Colorado]

Welcome Suzanne :-) Hope you enjoy Odd Apocalypse - that was my kind of book!

[Jen LD]

Hi Suzanne.
I thought "Odd Apocalypse" was definitely out there! At this point, I am a fan of Odd but confused by his current adventures. My loyalty keeps me reading with the hope that the bigger picture will become clear as time goes on. "Life Expectancy" was my other DK experience and after I got the hang of it, I enjoyed that story. DK impressed as a unique and fascinating person so I am waiting for the next Odd...

[Andreas]

Hi everyone!

My name's Andreas and I am from Hamburg, Germany.
I have been a Dean Koontz fan ever since I read "Fear Nothing". Since then, I have read over 30 Dean Koontz novels, which is a way for me to kill time while I wait for "Ride the Storm" to come out. (c;
Unfortunately, no one else in my suspense loving circle of friends likes to read Dean Koontz (they seem to prefer Scandinavian authors like Larsson, Nesbo, and Indridason) so I am glad to have find this group.

[Dustin the wind Crazy little brown owl, Colorful Colorado]

Hey Andreas :-) Thanks for introducing yourself though it seems like you are an old timer around here now. Glad you found your way into some of the discussion threads. We're gonna have a while to wait for Ride the Storm so we're glad to have you with us.

[Andreas]

Thanks for the welcome!

I'll have a look around the place and see what you guys have been discussing. (c:

A Good Favorite to have :-) Welcome to Koontzland Lauren!

[Aaron]

Hello everyone! I'm Aaron from Minnesota. Next to King, Koontz is my favorite author. I've read over 40 of his books, and plan to finish his entire library in the 2013 calendar year. I collect his books as well - I have almost every one in paperback, and have recently started getting hardcover too.(I only buy them at Garage sales, flea markets, and Goodwill.)

Like many Koontz fans my favorites are Lightning & Watchers. I'm currently reading "The Door to December." Strongly dislike it so far, but I didn't have high expectations. Most of his books that I have not read, I've put off due to lower rankings.

Look forward to meeting other Koontz fans and discussing his works.

[Dawn]

Hello everyone. I am Dawn, from North Carolina. Koontz is my absolute favorite author. I am excited to be a part of this group. Looking forward to reading and sharing.

[Dustin the wind Crazy little brown owl, Colorful Colorado]

Welcome to Koontzland Aaron and Dawn :-)

[Misty]

Hi everyone! I've posted to the group a few times already and have been a member for a couple of months now, but I thought I'd come on here and actually introduce myself. I'm Misty from California. I am almost 32 and live in the Mojave desert. I'm married with 2 kids. My son, Nick, is almost 13 and a big reader like I am. As I posted earlier, I'm trying to introduce him into Dean Koontz books now that he's into the older books. I also have a daughter, Maddie, who just turned 6. I've been reading Koontz for many years now and I think I've read almost all of his books. It may have been years since I've read some of them but I just recently got a bunch of them on my kindle as a gift from a friend so I'm trying to catch up on the ones I've forgotten. I also found a bunch of his older Science Fiction books that were written under other pseudonyms and I'm interested to see how those turn out. Well, that's just a little about myself. I'm looking forward to participating in more discussions.
