Words are murder.

Scribes have a gift. Whatever they write comes true. Misfortune. Theft. Even murder. Editors—covert specialists operating beyond the law—watch over them. Among the Editors, Io is the best, and the most ruthless. But on her way to her next assignment, something happens. Her phone rings—along with every other phone on the planet.

What would you do if you knew the world would end next week?
A single phone call to the world’s population asks this question. The same message appears on walls, TV screens, even flesh. Confusion erupt into chaos. Violence spreads like wildfire. Io discovers a Scribe named Nadie sent the message. But the message is only the beginning.

The final winter solstice.

In two weeks, on the day of the winter solstice, Nadie promises a final judgment. Battling a world spiraling into mass hysteria and her own dark past, Io must race to stop Nadie. But as the world is engulfed in a series of supernatural catastrophes, Io uncovers a shocking possibility: Is Nadie writing humanity’s extermination? And is Nadie linked to her past?

"You'd better better be careful what you wish for. It sounds like you're going to turn into the ultimate Stephen King Wife..."
When newly successful author Claudia Danvers starts work on her second novel, she is disturbed to find a sinsiter story writing itself in the pages of her notebook. And as she is menaced by a strangely familiar Voice with a fondness for puns, she finds herself remembering her husband's warning...

Constant Reader is a humorous tribute to the work of Stephen King and to the powerful effect of books on those who are willing to give themselves up to the story.
