He is rescued from the wreck by Annie Wilkes, a woman who claims she is his 'number one fan.' Back at her house, Paul awakens from a drug-induced haze to discover that Annie has taken him from the site of the crash. Both of Paul's legs are severely broken with multiple fractures and his left knee is shattered, leaving him incapacitated.

Paul, still somewhat drunk from the champagne he drank to celebrate completing Fast Cars, swerves off the road and crashes his car into a snow bank.

While on his way to California with his finished manuscript, a snow storm that reports had said wouldn't hit the Sidewinder area brings hazardous driving conditions. After finishing his latest novel on car thieves ( Fast Cars), Paul celebrates with champagne and decides to drive to California with his finished manuscript. Paul settles in to his writing cabin in Sidewinder, Colorado. In the latest installment Misery's Child, Misery has died giving birth to her first child, an act that Paul believes will free him from the character and allow him to pursue other writing ideas. Paul believes that these novels are little more than dime-store romances, despite their success and the fortune they've brought him. Paul is the author of the Misery Chastain novel series, which take place in Victorian-era England. It has also been revealed that he has been married and divorced twice, although he is a bachelor in the events of the novel. Paul lives in New York City and Los Angeles, but writes his novels in a remote cabin near Sidewinder, Colorado. 5 Possible Connections to other Stephen King works.If you can’t find the resource you need here, visit our contact page to get in touch.Įstablished in 1962, the MIT Press is one of the largest and most distinguished university presses in the world and a leading publisher of books and journals at the intersection of science, technology, art, social science, and design.
