Note: This is an interview with the popular writer Dean Koontz. Both the person
asking the questions and Mr. Koontz are speaking at close to or perhaps even
a little faster than normal American conversation speed so understanding what
they're saying will be a bit of a challenge. You can of course rewind the
interview and listen to it again though. This is very good listening practice!
