Death of Author

[edit]

Peter Spear used to live in Mill Valley, CA. He died in 1998 during the storms that were wrecking havoc on Marin County. The last phone call I had with him was in 1998, and he told me a tree went through his roof. I found his phone listing again in 2004, and Al Lowe, Leisure Suit Larry's creator, and I discussed it via e-mail, and I telephoned the number on a Sunday evening. Virginia Soper answered and informed me Peter had died six years earlier. I informed her Mr. Spear taught everything about being an author and helped me all during high school with assignments and ethics in proper manners and behavior. I told her I thank him for that and she said good-bye and the phone call ended. I told Al, and he told Ken Williams, and that was that. We all went separate ways thereafter.

Peter Spear is still alive, as of 2006 he was in contact with the The Silver Lining team, about making a novelization of their fan game. He had an online chat/interview with the The Silver Lining team that year. What he is up to now is unknown. Its not clear if he is still writing the novel or not. Considering how long the TSL team has been taking Peter Spear may have gone onto other things.137.222.231.108 (talk) 21:33, 12 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep or Redirect?

[edit]

I created this article some years back when I saw a not-yet-established link to the book from some other King's Quest article (probably the main one) and put in basic information from my own copy of the first book. The current article also appears to cite only the books themselves and not any notable third-party sources.

So I have no strong opinion about keeping the article vs. redirecting to the main KQ article, so I'd leave it to everyone else to sort it out. Resident alian (talk) 16:52, 23 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Single source

[edit]

This entire article is sourced only to the book itself. Outside sources are missing completely. JIP | Talk 00:56, 24 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
