Stephen King at 60: Bangor author talks politics, health and his new book
By Dale McGarrigle
Staff Writer Bangor Daily News
As darkness falls and the phone rings, it’s appropriately Stephen King on the line, calling from "God’s Waiting Room."
"Sorry I’m late," said the master of horror. "I couldn’t read my own writing."
King is calling from his winter place near Sarasota, Fla., where it’s 72 and rainy on this recent day. He’s getting ready to fly north to visit with his grandchildren before heading to New York for authorly duties. In this case, that means promoting his new novel, "Duma Key," which hits bookshelves Tuesday.
In a freewheeling, 20-minute phone interview, King talked not just about his new novel, but also his daily activities, his health, his family and developments on the local, state and national scene.
"Duma Key" is King’s first book set in Florida, although the author and his wife, Tabitha, have been wintering in that state since 1998.
