OK, I might look into becoming a Goodread author. Don't know if one book qualifies me though :-)
Well, in 1996 the Internet looked very different and the sites that was online then wasn't what I wanted to read as a fan so I thought "Why don't start one yourself?". I had no idea it would still be here 15 years later :-)
:-) Yeah, I have interviewed King twise by phone and I have meet him and shook his hand at a publishing party in London. It was great. Definatley once in a lifetime. I get info from many places. Not form King himself though.

Everyone has their own but The Stand, IT and The Dark Tower are at the top of may lists. Same with me. I also like The Long Walk alot.And yes, I do talk to fans from all over the world. Being from Sweden myself it's a lot of fun hearing from other fans. I just introduced comments on my site so I hope that will get people talking.
I just would like to say you have a great site! I've been checking it out since I first found it back in high school study hall, circa 1999 or so. So much great info :)

There will be a Stephen King movie Quiz next year that I have written with Brian Freeman and Kevin Quigley.
Question to Lilja: Is it true that Stephen King suffered from night terrors at some point in his life (childhood?)? I vaguely remember hearing this about him but could not find any confirmation.
How are you able to interview so many people who are tied with King shows/movies/books? http://www.liljas-library.com/intervi... I love to read them!
Mohan: He has talked about it but I'm not sure if it's true or just something he says to scar us readres :-)
Monica: I ask :-) And I have been very lucky. I hope it's because they think my site is a good place to be intervied and that they feel I respect them. Yesterday I interviewed Annabeth Gish and in 10 min I'm getting a call from Mick Garris.I really love doing interviews!
Hans, in 2006 we have met in London, you also met King finaly.. are there still people that you want to meet someday? if so, who would that be?
I'd love to meet Frank Darabont and Mick Garris in person. They are both very nice and it would be fun to sit down with them.
So when are you flying to USA(LA) ;) for a meet and greet... :)
:-) Nothing planned at the moment.
Just checked out your site, and what a surprise to see a link about Piper Laurie! I just finished watching the Twin Peaks gold box collection for the 2nd time and I loved her as Catherine! Your site is awesome, love the pictures & info. Keep up the good work :)
Lilja, do you think they'll ever make 'The Long Walk' a movie? I remember reading something on IMDb a while back that it was a possibility.
The rights are owned by Frank Darabont and I know he wants to do it but you never know. If anyone can do it though it's Frank.

Although I'm a little scared about him directing a movie called The Long Walk. His movies are well paced but we'd be in the theater for a while :)
Yeah, but if King can tell a story about people that is walking Frank can do the movie version of it :-)

Today it's only released in hardback and eBook but you never know what happens in the future...

Though I can't help but think: "The Long Walking Dead".
Ahem..anyway.
It's really cool to have you hear Lilja. I'm sorry I haven't been around much during your visit. I'll be sure to frequent the website, though.
Thanks for doing the Q/A with the group, Lilja! Stop in anytime. :)
