Let's Call It "The Turn of the Phillips-Head Screw"
  I was happily working on a novel titled What the Night Knows, thepremise of which was already described on various web-sitepostings, when an idea for a ghost story slammed into me with asmuch force as an exuberant 60-pound golden retriever playingbowl-dad-off-his-feet. When I picked myself up from my officefloor, I didn't need a sticky roller to remove the dog hair from myclothes, but the story I had been working on was entirely Swifferedout of my head to make room for the ghost story. After alerting myeditor and my publisher of my intentions, I put aside What theNight Knows and set to work enthusiastically on the new idea.
  Over the next few months, as the manuscript pages piled up, Ioccasionally sent lists of possible titles to my editor and mypublisher, and they sent lists of titles to me. None of us likedthe same title. We didn't argue. We just quietly declined to beenthusiastic about one another's suggestions. We are a genteelbunch. The only one of us to wake with the severed head of a horsein his bed was me, and that was unrelated to the disagreement abouttitles. I'm not even sure who sent the horse's head, although I didfail to renew my subscription to Oprah magazine, and theircirculation department does play hardball.
  Anyway, one day, when I was deep into the still untitled ghoststory, I suddenly realized that the title of the novel I had setaside, What the Night Knows, would be a perfect title for the novelI was writing. In fact, it was more suited to the ghost story thanto the novel to which it had been previously attached. I emailed mypublisher suggesting that I steal this title from myself, and as Isent that email, I simultaneously received one from her--which madethe same suggestion. This seemed like destiny at work, and if notdestiny, then something even stranger, something with which a wiseperson would not screw around.
  Now, the ghost story, What the Night Knows, is scheduled to land inbookstores on 28 December, and the book I set aside--but to which Iwill return--doesn't have a title. So here we go again. Sometimes Ithink that life is nothing but a never-ending series of problemsand crises, a dark journey of frustration and anxiety and despair,and I really just want to hijack a gasoline tanker truck and driveit at high speed over a cliff. But then I eat a couple of Reese'speanut-butter cups, and everything's swell again. Dean Koontz, the author of many #2 New York Times bestsellers,lives with his wife, Gerda, and the enduring spirit of their goldenretriever, Trixie, in southern California.
