So, @StephenKing & I did this virtual event last night to benefit @BincFoundation . We had a lot of fun. A good-sized crowd looked on. The end result, $44k was raised—which is great! The idea of our collaborating on a novel was raised, too. You can see how that went in the video.

After @doubledaybooks published my second novel, 'The Firm,' in 1991, my career took off. Doubleday acquired the rights to 'A Time to Kill' and distributed a new hardcover edition in 1993. Safe to say, they printed more than 5000 copies. I bought none.
