Brian Freeman (http://www.brianfreeman.com) reports:
In the Borders bookstore chain's free monthly newsletter INSIDE
BORDERS there is a 2 page spread revealing King's thoughts about how
refreshing it was for him to write the first draft of Dreamcatcher
the old fashioned way, by hand. The issue also has one additional
page with an article about King's hometown Bangor.
