Search - List of Books by Owen King
Owen Philip King (born February 21, 1977) is an American author and the youngest son of authors Stephen and Tabitha King. He has two older siblings, Naomi King and Joseph Hillstrom King, and grew up in Bangor, Maine. He is married to the writer Kelly Braffet.
King has written one book, We’re All In This Together, a collection of three short stories and a novella, published in 2005 by Bloomsbury USA to very strong reviews. Kirkus Reviews wrote: "The title novella of King's first collection is its heart and soul: a powerful exploration of the flimsiness of political moral certainty....The novella...like all great storytelling, has real strength. Newcomer King is a talent to watch."
Andrea Sachs interviewed King about the book for Time Magazine; she asked him what it was like to be the child of Stephen and Tabitha King. Owen answered: "I understand people's curiosity and yet, I've made a really decided effort to write in a way that's individual to me, and do as much as I can possibly do on my own without being insane about it." Galley Girl: The Son Also Rises - TIME
The New York Daily News also interviewed King: "My parents are proud of me, just like anybody's," he said. "And they wish they could protect me...from, like, getting bad reviews. My grandmother said she really liked [the book], because there were so few nasty words."
In 2006, King told an interviewer for the Sunday Telegraph: "I obviously have an advantage as a writer in terms of name recognition. But it's also a disadvantage because people expect it just to be a nepotistic exercise and for you to suck. You have to keep working to convince them to give you a chance."
A poem, "For Owen", is included in Stephen King's story collection Skeleton Crew. In the story collection Nightmares & Dreamscapes, the non-fictional story Head Down is about Owen's Little League baseball team.
Owen King's likeness was used for the G.I. Joe figure Sneak Peek as he was an avid fan as a child.
