Archived from groups: alt>books>dean-koontz (more info?)

Hi all, has anyone got an update on Frankenstein Book 3? I've just
been to Amazon.co.uk, where it already has 8 customer reviews and 4
stars (!) Someone was saying that DK has delayed this a bit because he
didn't want to inflict more punishment on New Orleans, after Hurricane
Katrina; I'm wondering whether he has simply been re-writing it to
include the hurricane?
All the best,
Alex

The Frankenstein books were supposed to be a collaboration with other
writers.
Even though those writers did their jobs, DK discovered that he can't
collaborate.
So in his rewriting these books , he fell behind in finishing them. Now,
he hopes to
complete the 3rd book "Dead and Alive" in February 2008 and then send it to
his
publisher for release but no date was specified

Yes, collaboration can be tricky - great though if a writer has the
temperament or when two writers find that their styles somehow mesh.
The Douglas Preston/Lincoln Child books (Relic, etc.) are good
examples IMO of when it works well. James Patterson/Andrew Gross is
another partnership that seems to have worked well. Maybe DK's current
style is just a bit too quirky for it to go well with others'? Oh
well... It will be interesting to read this, eventually..
All the best,
Alex
