At last! Finally someone has written a blog about Dean Koontz. I have never understood why it is so unusual for him to be mentioned. He is such a superb writer and I know that his books are incredibly popular. I am not quite sure why it is, but his work seems to get overlooked a lot of the time in England.

In the past he has been likened to Stephen King but this is not a very good comparison at all. King has written quite a few good novels but he is more of a typical horror writer. Koontz on the other hand has explored a number of different genres.

I myself make money through writing and I also own my own home based business. These two have been giving me enough income to help contribute to the household. Other ways that I have found where you can make money from home is:

* paid to review
