Player #25874027, Yes, but he doesn't really write them all himself. He had a staff of writers. I used to.like his books, but I feel they've gone way down in quality

Believe his talent was encouraged by his mom. He had written a little story in his youth about a bunny who was a cop. His mom read it and asked if he wrote that storyline himself. She enjoyed it so much she gave him 25 cents.Thank you Stephen King 💋

nom de guerre is something else, but some revolutionary writers used the same nom de plume and nom de guerre; an example is Philippine national hero Jose Rizal, who used Dimasalang (touch me not)
