One
note: Whereas I do think that Heading Out to Wonderful will appeal to
fans of A Reliable Wife, I also know that some readers found Goolrick's debut
novel to be a bit sensational.
In an author's
note at the end
of Doctor Sleep, Stephen King explains how the idea
of writing a sequel to The Shining — his third
novel, published in 1977 — was planted by a
fan at a book signing back in 1998.
