"No, no, I was talking about Stephen King's "It," which I'm reading concurrently and am about to pick back up."

What about this one?

That's pretty good. There's another zinger on Lawrence Block's RANDOM WALK, but I don't know it from memory.

[Minor footnote: As an agent, I sold Quinn's first novel.]

Was it an earlier book? Before Ishmael?

kurtbusiek.bsky.social•48 days ago

Yes. It was a paranormal thriller called DREAMER, published by Tor Books.

I think it was called DREAMWALKER in manuscript.

Hmmm. Never heard of it. I'll have to investigate.

Maybe not.
