If you’ve been following my posts on Stephen King’s upcoming novel Lisey’s Story, then you’ll know that a bool is a treasure hunt with a prize at the end. In this case the prize is a story: a copy of the limited advance reader’s edition of Lisey’s Story (which is in stores Oct 24), plus a copy of some of his most popular book collections including: Carrie, Salem’s Lot, Pet Sematary & The Shining.
In an ideal world, I would have created the bool well in advance of Oct 24 so that you could share my excitement of reading the novel before everyone else, but I hope the chance to win 6 books outweighs that.
How does this bool work? (I don’t want it to be exactly like Scott Landon’s bools because you’ll enjoy discovering how they work as you read the novel so this bool is slightly different.)
The first and last clues are identified with the word BOOL. Each clue is numbered, and the first clue will tell you how many clues there are until the end.
....................
BOOL START (total: 4 stages, 3 clues)
#1 You’ll find me here if you want your say. (Hint below)
Hint: Check comments.

2 Bool or Not 2 Bool
I’ve already said a lot about this novel, but I have more to say.
Stephen King has written a writer’s story. Not just because it features a writer, Scott Landon, and his wife, but because he’s writing for writers, or at least to tip his hat to writers.
Scott Landon talks about the pool—the myth pool, the language pool. It’s the place where he goes to be safe, to renew himself, and where he and other authors go for stories. In the author’s statement at the end of the book, King says “there really is a pool where we—and in this case by we I mean the vast company of readers and writers—go down to drink and cast our nets.”
If you’re on a bool hunt, you’ll want look into the pool. You might start with a photo pool. (Hint below.)
Hint: try looking for pools on my Flickr account.
