Magistrale to give S.K speech at University Vermont

The Associated Press has released news that Vermont Professor Tony Magistrale will be giving a speech on Stephen King on May 4th.  Magistrale is cited as an expert on Edgar allan Poe, and is also the author of Hollywood's Stephen King.  I hope he spends some time demonstarting connections between King and Poe.

Heintzman to teach Stephen King seminar in Crowsnest

My friend, Tim Heintzman, is doing a two week seminar on Stephen King in Crowsnest Pass, Canada. Tim has certainly been an encouragement to me, and he has a great passion for understanding Stephen King's work. Here's the description:

This is a course for the avid Stephen King fan and enthusiast.
• Have you ever wanted to explore his earliest childhood writing and the beginning of his mega career?
• Ever wondered how and why he created Richard Bachman and has he used other pseudonyms?
• Ever wanted to explore the "S K Universe", his different landscapes and fictional worlds?
• Ever wanted to explore his impact on Popular Culture?
• Ever wanted to explore the many movies, TV series and mini-series based on his works?
• Ever wanted to explore the world of "Stephen King Collecting"?


These questions and many others can be answered here. Tim is an avid reader, studier and collector of Stephen King, one of the world's most popular authors. Considered by many to be a "minor expert" on King and his works, Tim is willing and eager to share his passion and enthusiasm for his work.
