Dean Koontz is writing
a memoir about his deceased golden retriever, Trixie. Koontz adored Trixie, who died in 2007 at the age of 11.
Now Koontz will write a memoir, A Big Little Life: A Memoir of a Joyful Dog, due from Hyperion next summer. "I wanted to write not just another dog story like Marley & Me - and, by the way, Trixie was not a Marley. She was one of the best behaved dogs anyone could hope to have," Koontz says. "I wanted to write the truth about the mystery of this world and our place in it with other creatures." Koontz, who says the human/dog bond "is as close to a perfect relationship as you can have," will write a second non-fiction title for Hyperion. The topic is to be determined.
A dog book by Dean Koontz? Now that should be interesting and might even give him an entire new audience.
