Helen (hgreenan) | 2 comments I wonder if anyone can help me?
I'm looking for a book by DK, my best friend was reading it and LOVED it - this was in the mid 90's that he was reading it and it featured two gay male characters. I have always tried to remember what the book was as I would love to read it....My best friend passed away in 2001.
The only other detail i remember is it has a picture of a house on it.

This is a long shot, I know :)

This vaguely brings to mind a story of a well-established doctor or lawyer in one of Koontz's works. These two characters were not main characters in the novel but played a significant role. I'll have to give it some more thought. Maybe in the meantime, someone else will give you the answer :-)

Thanks for joining us Melissa. We're hoping that once Dean completes the Odd Thomas series that he will get back to Chris Snow and Moonlight Bay :-) Ride the Storm!

Annie | 9 comments Hello,

My name is Annie O'Donnell and I've been reading Koontz for a long time now. The first book I read was False Memory and I will never forget it. I tell everyone to read it. I have a tendency to read the same authors. As of late I have been trying to mix things up and I couldn't resist when I saw the group on Facebook! I'm looking to relive odd Thomas as well!

Justin Emery | 1 comments Name's Justin. I'm from central Maine, and I am into reading, writing, MLP:FiM and riding motorcycles. I write stories for the fandom which I belong to, and hope to have a novel of my own in print someday.

Dean Koontz is one of the very first Authors I read growing up. Though my mother worried that the books might be too advanced for someone in grade school, I was immediately hooked.

Holy Shit there is so many new people!
Thanks for joining & Welcome to Koontzland on Goodreads :-)

It was Shastina's idea to create the Facebook page - I never even thought of it before. Shastina and Katie are new moderators that are helping me out.

Wilderness and Innocence will be featured as group reads in December. Wilderness is available now and Innocence will be released on December 10th.

You are still welcome to join the discussions for The Key to Midnight or Demon Seed which are our November Group Reads.

It was very nice and surprising for Koontzland to be mentioned on the official Dean Koontz Facebook page :-)

We gained 200+ members in one day. We now have over 1,000 members which means we only need 4,000 more to catch up to the Stephen King Fans group :-)

message 1033: by Sarah (new)

Sarah (serialbookreader) Hi all! I'm Sarah and I've been a Koontz fan since I was 12 years old, when I found Watchers on my dad's bookshelf and read it for the first time. It was the beginning of my obsession! :) I'm happy to be a part of this group - thanks to Dean Koontz's Facebook page for sending me here!


message 1034: by Melissa (new)

Melissa Bailey | 3 comments Hi - I am Melissa from SW Michigan. I have been reading Dean Koontz since he was first published. I am a voracious reader, so it's saying a lot when I claim "Watchers" as my all-time favorite book on the planet. It started my love affair with Golden Retrievers, too. For my 50th birthday, my brother got me a signed first addition of that book, and other than my dog, it is my most prized possession! :)


message 1035: by Lori (new)

Lori (lkaumans) | 12 comments Hi everyone. I'm Lori. I've been a Dean Koontz fan ever since I read Watchers in 1990. Since then, I've purchased every book he's come out with (except the Frankenstein series). I loved, loved, LOVED Watchers and couldn't put it down. A friend from work was reading it and I asked her if it was good. She raved about it and even though I'd seen the really bad movie of the same name, gave it a try. I was hooked! On both Dean Koontz and golden retrievers. I've read it several times since that first reading and it's still my all-time favorite. Can't wait for Innocence though and Saint Odd. That one can't come out soon enough.


message 1036: by Jeanette (new)

Jeanette Brooks (jettyb) | 4 comments Reading all these posts I'm gonna have to read Watchers again now as it was a long time ago I first read it.

FYI: we do have a Mini-Group Read Program. If 3 group members or more can agree on reading the same title and agree on a start date, we'll feature that title as a group read for one month. Simply post in the Mini-Group Read thread and see if you can find others to read with you :

John Bowerman | 1 comments Hello, everyone! My name is John and I live in a small town just outside of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. I'm new to Koontzland but am a longtime Koontz fan and DK Fancorps Member.

I have read everything by DK that I can get my hands on. There are a few reare stragglers that I'm still looking for, but I will find them in time.

I am the proud owner of four Deak Koontz sutographs (two Charnel House numbered, limited edition books [Life Expectancy and The Husband], a signed advance copy of Innocence, and a signed personal letter). I cherish each one!

Kayla | 1 comments Greetings! I'm Kayla, a Mormon born and raised in Utah. I've been reading Koontz since I was ten, but have only been a serious Koontz fan since I read Fear Nothing in tenth grade. I've read most of his books, now. The only one I haven't that I can think of is Midnight, which I just checked out from the library (and Innocence, of course). My favorite, by far, is The Face.


message 1042: by Ann (new)

Ann | 1 comments Hi all! My name is Ann and I live in upstate New York and I've been a Dean Koontz fan since the early 1980's. The first one I read was "Whispers" ...I was hooked! My favorite is 'Watchers' and all the Odd Thomas books......I found you all from the mention by Dean himself and I'm excited to be able to be in touch with other fans. And I'm a Stephen King fan too....have been since the 1970's........wow! I feel old now! Ha ha!

Welcome to Koontzland Ann :-) I recently read Whispers for the first time this Summer (I think it was featured as our group read that month) and I really liked it - more than I expected which is always nice.

Koontzland has been mentioned both on Dean Koontz's Facebook page and via Dean Koontz Fancorps in the past week. We are are very appreciative for the support & grateful for all the Koontz fans who have recently joined us :-)


message 1046: by Orkney (new)

Orkney Dean | 6 comments Hi, I'm Dean from the Orkney Isles, I am honoured to be sharing a name with my favourite author. like so many people in this group I was introduced to Mr Koontz with Watchers and Lightning. They started my addiction and now I own everything he has written that is available in print and a lot of the old sci-fi from the 70's on my e-reader (gained from a naughty source!)
