Entertaining their parents, for the King children, was part job, part enrichment. At bedtime, they were the ones expected to tell their parents stories, instead of the other way around. Whatever their methods or intentions, Stephen and Tabithas shared vocation, and their approach to child rearing, has yielded a significant number of successful fiction writers in their household. Tabitha is an accomplished writer with eight novels to her credit, and two of their three children, Joe and Owen, are novelists. Naomi is a Unitarian Universalist minister. Joes NOS4. A2, a sprawling mix of horror and fantasy that is his third critically praised best seller, was published last April Owens second work of fiction, a well received comedic novel titled Double Feature, was published in March. Owen, perhaps inevitably, married a writer, Kelly Braffet, whose third novel, a literary thriller called Save Yourself, is out this month. And Stephens much anticipated sequel to the The Shining, titled Doctor Sleep, comes out this fall. Circus performers, klezmer musicians those are the kinds of entertainers we usually expect to see in a family business, not writers.

Martin Amis son of Kingsley is perhaps the best known example, but Rebecca Miller daughter of Arthur and Ted Heller son of Joseph have also published, more quietly, well reviewed novels.

If reading was a common escape in the King household, it was nonetheless deeply social. They read on tape, but they also took turns reading aloud after dinner, passing around The Hobbit or the Narnia chronicles. It followed that writing came to feel like something they all could share as well. Stephen and Tabitha did not take themselves off to quiet sheds or off site offices to write they wrote in their own home, upstairs, as their kids, below, wondered what words were being put on the page and played elaborate role playing games of their own. When the group broke from the conversation around the table to pose for a family photo outside, they continued their easy patter on books and pop culture. Joes corgi, Mc. Murtry, named after the novelist Larry Mc. Murtry, was insistently present, so that someone catching snippets, from a distance, of the familys conversation as they made their way into the yard would have heard something like this Neil Gaiman.

Kelly Braffet was a high school freshman in Western Pennsylvania, her parents gave her, for Christmas, a Stephen King book of the month subscription, which came, as she recalls, with a six inch rubber skeleton very creepy. It was just what she wanted. She was in her Stephen King completist phase, and she was trying to track down hardcover copies of his more obscure books. Her completist phase could have been considered officially over 1. Owen, whom she met at the Columbia M. F. A. writing program in 2.
