Damn, he's 34 already. I remember when he was just small tike. Hell, I was 36 when my heart went to hell, not that I am wishing that horror upon him. heheheh

He looks so much like his dad. Nice story, he had not told his publisher for 8 years!

Now I do not mean bad, but if he really wished to keep his true identity private, he could have no? Anyway, it is not his fault his dad is so famous. After all he might have inherited the talent and/or learnt the skill.

yes, BP. Cuter now. Although back in his day, SK was a hottie too! The top right pic is so badass. If you scroll down you'll see the genes talking.

I love Stephen King.

"After all he might have inherited the talent" from his mom, Tabitha.

I have not read anything of hers. Thus I cannot tell. Nepotism does not sell with me, dude!

Okay I am being silly. I have not read anything of hers though really. Have you?

I love Tabitha King. Highly recommended: Pearl, One on One, Reuben's Story. (I am fuzzy on the last one's title.) All interconnected novels. Small World, The Trap, Survivor.
