About the Author

Known as one of America’s most popular suspense writers, Dean Koontz began life in Pennsylvania. He attended Shippensburg State College where he won an Atlantic Monthly competition for fiction in his senior year. He has been writing ever since.
After graduation, Koontz began working with the Appalachian Poverty Program. This was a challenging position and the result was that Koontz was driven to become a writer even more. He wrote nights and weekends even after he left the Poverty Program and became a high school teacher. Eighteen months later, his wife, Gerda, offered to support him as a writer. She gave him a five year deadline. By the end of the five years, Dean had become successful enough for her to quit her job to manage the business end of writing.
Dean and his wife live in Southern California.
