What author was still an English teacher at Maine's Hampden Academy when his first book was published?
Correct answer: Stephen King
Audrey
I used to live a couple of miles from him. He has an awesome house with gargoyles around it. He hands out candy to the kids on Halloween and the kids are lined up around the block. He loves his town of Bangor, Maine and really is a nice guy!
Maurice
what a legend!

another reason to support his work. he supports those around him with his wealth. for many they believe this is pokcet change, but regardless he does something with his wealth to help others and it consistent!

He was my cousin Jimmy's English teacher in high school and then used Jimmy's first and last name in one of his books.

he is my favorite author.my favorite story is the stand.based on what's going on today I wonder if he can tell the future.
Rose
TJ SISTER, his movies arent even CLOSE to his books. after see how hollywood BUTCHERED Firestarter, I refuse to see any move of the movies they try to make of his books. Its impossible. He is far too cerebral in his writings. Read Firestarter, then see the film. you'll see what I mean.
the film.
tallie
born same day as me😁

Audrey, the only time I was ever thru Bangor there was a huge house fire. We were the only travellers going toward Bangor instead of to the fire on the outskirts. Immed thought of Steven King, as I knew it was his hometown. Weird!
Sully Girl
I think Christine is my favorite movie, I cant pick a favorite book by this amazing author
