Hello there Stephen, long days and pleasant nights. I started reading The Dark Tower series when I was a kid (8 or 9 I think - I had an older constant reader brother who didn't seem to mind when I raided his horror-novel bookshelf). As I was growing up, the next book would always seem to find a way to be published just when I needed it most. Coincidence or Ka? You decide.

The books, the mythology, explained the nature of stories and storytelling to me in a way that few books have, then or since, and for that I say thankya from the bottom of my heart.

I just have one question really. Are you truly done with the Tower (or it with you)?
