Register Book Club Event
On January 14th, Koontz was the guest of the Register Book Club. He talked about his career, signed books and posed for pictures with fans. His appearance was a rare chance to meet his fans, who filled the Register lobby in Santa Ana for two interview sessions.
“Women are on the ascendance in Hollywood,” Koontz said. “I was one of the first male suspense writers who featured women in leading roles. I’ve known a lot of strong women in my life.”
