I love his book On Writing. When I read it, I could tell he was very nice just from the way he talked about his family. The most famous author I ever met was Dick Francis and that was at an event where he gave a talk about his books and signed autographs, so it wasn't like we became pals or shared beers.L.C.

King, Bob Parker, PD James and other mystery and horror writers taught a small group of us. It was a wonderful week. If you read my earlier post about Robert B. Parker - Author Bumping - you'll get a feel for that workshop. It was pretty unique.<br /><br />Stephen King is a very nice man. At one conference I watched him sign autographs for at least 3 hours ... steady. He treated the last person in line as kindly as he treated the first.Barbara Silkstonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16776412873592952204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3944483231013133005.post-12087482458891266462010-11-13T15:53:42.852-05:002010-11-13T15:53:42.852-05:00Great story to share, Barbara.
