Yep. (Discovered late last night that there's no 's' on the end of Wizard.)
 TN> This must be a joke! Can anybody else confirm this information?
Well, see my post from last nite -- seems the afterword to _Wizard_ 
contradicts what I've heard, although it was written over a year ago, so 
maybe King has changed his mind. Nonetheless, _Wizard_ is not the end of the 
tale.

Hehe...
