As if that wasn't cool enough...

I just wanted to post about what an incredibly cool guy Dean Koontz is.

After winning the contest, I thought my glee had crescendoed. I was wrong! The next day in the mail, my "prize" arrived. It was a signed copy of Trixie's new book, but I was expecting that.


What I wasn't expecting was a hand written note from Dean tucked away in the pages, actually penned to me...about how he thought it sounded like Ruger was a "wonderful boy" and he knew Trixie and him were at play in the fields of Heaven. Wow. He wrote to every single winner personally. What a guy!


And then he signed the book...


An incredible gift that had me giggling in happy tears, missing Ruger and honored that he was honored so.

Thank you, dear Mr. Koontz. I suspect you know exactly what that meant to all of us, and that is exactly why you did it.
