I’m Emily Schultz. My first novel came out eight years ago. It was
called Joyland. Last year Stephen King released a print-only novel
with the same title. That was cool, until a few King readers bought
the e-book version of my novel by mistake and started leaving negative
and confused Amazon reviews. I asked Amazon to change their search
results to keep people from buying the wrong book but never heard
back. Apparently there were a lot of confused readers as this week I
got a—for me—big royalty check for those mistaken books. I’m not
so upset anymore. Sure, it’s more a pleasant surprise than a
fortune, and I’m stuck with those reviews, but I thought a blog
detailing how we’re spending the Stephen King money would be a nice
way to end this funny and strange story. Preorder my new novel, The
Blondes
