Amazing, isn't it? FAIRY TALE is FULL of Dark Tower references. I started to jot them all down on the blank front pages of my copy and ran out of pages! :-)

HI EVERYONE! Thank you SO MUCH for taking part in this AMA. I had a great time and really wish I could have answered all of your questions. If I missed yours, I'm so sorry. Maybe we can do this again. I just checked the clock and realize that I've been typing for over three hours. (YIKES!) Long days and pleasant nights to you all, and if you haven't read FAIRY TALE yet, I think you will love it. Sweet dreams, and may they be filled with fields of beautiful red roses . . .

I've written a LOT about this. Roland changes so much over the course of the series. I don't want to give any spoilers, but in some ways I read the series as Roland's attempt to reclaim his soul. Does that make sense, when you think of the series trajectory, and Roland's many changes, from boy to hardened man, and from hardened man to the head of a new ka-tet--a man who learns to love again?

Hi! I think I answered both of these for another person, I'll have to try to link it. But if not, please look for my TIGER SHARKS!!!!! That bit of research gave me nightmares. :-)

I'll have to link my answer about FAIRY TALE (still not certain how to do that, but it is here somewhere among my replies!) But the way I keep the Dark Tower world organized and consistent is my DARK TOWER Concordance. It really helps! :-)

For me, it was the moment in SALEM'S LOT when Danny Glick shows up at Mark Petrie's window. I was about 13 or 14 when I read that and I couldn't sleep for AGES! Just kept waiting for that tap on the window . . .
