And I thought life was tough because I get eyestrain from the computer and need a new pair of glasses. Hang on in there. Don't really like Stephen King all that much, but I love Ian Rankin.

I truly admire your tenacity. I hope your surgeries are a huge success and that you get to live your dream.
The Stand is one of my top four favorite books too.
(Along with The Handmaid's Tale, The Tomorrow File, and The Witching Hour.)

It was just the best thing ever. Not so good for you with your finger. Will you be there 2009? Looking forward to the new book.

At 5:47am on March 13, 2008, David L. Hoof said…: Every author fears work being stolen, so it's always, consider the source. The rule in building a case in logic is that as the number of nearly identical coincidences increase, the probability of sheer creative coincidence diminishes. Unluckily, the law, at least in America, requires a series of connections between the alleged plaigerists and the alleged source. Absent that kind of chain of custody, and a near identity in story and character, it is difficult to make a case. Art Buchwald had a good one against Eddie Murphy in Coming to America, and won his case. Then it becomes a matter of collection, which is a problem in itself.

At 4:27am on March 13, 2008, David L. Hoof said…: Probably not at this point. Alibris has them as out-of-prints. I hope this helps. A note: there are not fewer than seven scenes in the movie The Fugitive that obviously 'borrow' from these two books, which, perhaps not coincidentally, are also set in Chicago.

At 3:04am on March 13, 2008, David L. Hoof said…: After your experience you should read my Spike Halleck novels, Sight Unsee and Blind Man's Bluff, both written as David Lorne. They deal with a blind sound effects man who solves a kidnapping using only acoustic clues from the ransom calls.
