------------------------------
Hillsdale College is an independent institution of higher learning founded in 1844 by men and women “grateful to God for the inestimable blessings” resulting from civil and religious liberty and “believing that the diffusion of learning is essential to the perpetuity of these blessings.” It pursues the stated object of the founders: “to furnish all persons who wish, irrespective of nation, color, or sex, a literary, scientific, [and] theological education” outstanding among American colleges “and to combine with this such moral and social instruction as will best develop the minds and improve the hearts of its pupils.” As a nonsectarian Christian institution, Hillsdale College maintains “by precept and example” the immemorial teachings and practices of the Christian faith.
The College also considers itself a trustee of our Western philosophical and theological inheritance tracing to Athens and Jerusalem, a heritage finding its clearest expression in the American experiment of self-government under law.
By training the young in the liberal arts, Hillsdale College prepares students to become leaders worthy of that legacy. By encouraging the scholarship of its faculty, it contributes to the preservation of that legacy for future generations. By publicly defending that legacy, it enlists the aid of other friends of free civilization and thus secures the conditions of its own survival and independence.
This was a delightful and inspiring and eye-opening interview to listen to. What a masterful craftsman. God bless 🙏
I can't tell you how excited I am about this video. Dean Koontz is my favorite author!
Mine too! I'm reading The Forest of Lost Souls right now.
Thanks for this interview! So glad to hear this inspiring biography!
One of my favorite reading memories was my early college years in a Hilo, Hawaii cottage, afternoon rain downpour outside, snuggled up with my girlfriend on a sofa reading 'The Bad Place.'
Thank you sir for the great stories.
I bought my first Dean Koontz book after seeing his picture with his rescue Golden Retriever in the back of the book. I was currently doing Golden Retriever Rescue and had to support this author who loved his dog. I was hooked! Every one of his books I have read have entranced me. Great seeing him interviewed by Hillsdale.
Some of my favorite Dean Koontz books:
"Lightning"
"Tick Tock"
"The Jane Hawk Series"
"The Odd Thomas Series"
"Intensity"
Sole Survivor.
Dean, if you ever read this I love your books! My first book (like a lot of fans I think) was Watchers, but the one that had the biggest impact on my life personally was False Memory. I read that book in rehab, and I related to Skeet so much. It was a very, very dark time, and I needed the hope that was in that book to make it through. And I'm 15 years sober! Thank you so much for writing that book ❤
Thank you, Professor Arn. Thoroughly enjoyed this interview.
One of my favorite authors! In addition to the authors Mr. Koontz refers to as influencers, from many years ago he had also said he read Rex Stout another fine author. Thanks for this great interview. Tom Dameron

The Odd Thomas series brings back memories.

As a former adjunct professor, I never gave a grade one to a student, they did always get what they eventually earned...
I never liked fiction and just thought Mr koontz was another Stephen King type writer. Boy was i wrong. His books have been fantastic. The husband is a favorite. One door away from heaven is really special
Little infant daughter from my shared "i" Am shared clay Feet mixed with iron resting upon all dry grounds. Grounded! Remember shared "i" Am come forth!
Came running unto Whom so unfamiliar unto many!
Beautiful will say, pops for many have hated HIM 1ST! Likewise many have FEAR HIM!
Huh?
At a time when "educators" are accepting regional dialects and "black English" as OK for school work, how many future Arthur Dean Koontz's are denied the potential a rigorous true education could have given them?
My shared "i" Am Hosts Meeks hearing when "i" grow "big"? Remember my little New minds ye all once in front!

HE ADOPTED and COMFORTED from HIS SIDE and holding with HIS 2 HANDS?
I read his books until his writing got formulaic.
I'm going to tell my kids this was Justin Bieber
What’s with the rug?
It's a hair transplant, not a rug. He talks about it openly.
