His non-fiction account of his life with his beloved Golden Retriever (A Big Little Life), Trixie, is a book we highly recommend. I knew from the beginning that Trixie was already OTRB with so many of my other friends but mom and me still cried our hearts out for Dean and Gerda Koontz and all who loved Trixie when she went to the bridge. Definitely a three handkerchief ending!
Dean and Gerda are huge supporters of Canine Companions for Independence, a wonderful organization that trains service animals for people with disabilities. Their dog Trixie was a CCI dog who had to retire from service due to elbow surgery. Their current dog, is a descendant of Trixie.
Dean doesn't do many interviews so I wanted to share this one with my pals. He was on CBS Sunday Morning last week.
If you have never read Dean Koontz before, here are some great ones with dog characters to check out. You can find more info on all of these on his site.
Watchers
The Darkest Evening of the Year
Breathless
One Door Away from Heaven
Fear Nothing
The Taking
Relentless
Mom's absolute favorite is one of Dean's earliest books: Lightning
Check out Dean Koontz on his website, Facebook and Twitter. There is also an App and he has a You Tube page. Trixie has her own page and you can link to that from the main website. When you watch the video you will see that Dean isn't on the cutting edge of technology (really, did you see that 'puter?) but someone who works for him definitely is as he has some cool sites!

I don't normally read Dean Koontz but I really liked A Big Little Life too.
But I wish more people would write about their dogs when they're still around. I'm tired of sad endings. I guess that's what blogging is for.
we love Dean Koontz aswell! mai mom can't get enuff of da "Odd Thomas" series! its a gud mix of humor and spookiness and mystery.

It's survival horror at its finest. The game player, immersed in a virtual monopoly in the late 70's and into the haycart.
This especially, if a little anachronistic, was interesting to say the least.
This is really an exhibit of mass effect signal tracking triangles, spheres and projectiles.
The court said that mass effect signal tracking, due to
the level of difficulty and the other a non-violent video game.
They're right, but between films like the classic Star Wars, the epic Lord of the Rings games series.

To avoid this trigger, dress in thin clothing, drink chilled fluids and try to stay on the sidewalks when
you can, as cars have a tougher time stopping
on ice. An incorrect forecast is expected, to some extent, because even the Tornadoes And Lightningmen themselves will admit
that Tornadoes And Lightning is not that good.
For that reason, ships in hurricane-prone waters can frequently" dodge" storms safely.
