11/22/63 is dedicated to Zelda...I can't remember the exact wording, but am assuming that it's Owen and Kelly's daughter.

Dragline : Nothin'. A handful of nothin'. You stupid mullet head. He beat you with nothin'. Just like today when he kept comin' back at me - with nothin'.
Luke : Yeah, well, sometimes nothin' can be a real cool hand.
11/22/63 is dedicated: For Zelda, welcome to the party.
Any idea who Zelda is?
It's his newest grandchild. He explains this in the Afterword.
Ah, thanks. I haven't read the book yet.
He planned to dedicate it to someone else (I won't say who) changed his mind when the new family member arrived.
Wouldn't that have been a kick in the pants? No, to another author whose work he identifies as being inspirational for this book.

Doctor Sleep:
When I was playing my primitive brand of rhythm guitar with a group called the Rock Bottom Remainders, Warren Zevon used to gig with us. Warren loved gray t-shirts and movies like Kingdom of the Spiders. He insisted I sing lead on his signature tune, “Werewolves of London,” during the encore portion of our shows. I said I was not worthy. He insisted that I was. “Key of G,” Warren told me, “and howl like you mean it. Most important of all: play like Keith.”
I’ll never be able to play like Keith Richards, but I always did my best, and with Warren beside me, matching me note for note and laughing his fool head off, I always did my best.
Warren this howl is for you, wherever you are. I miss you, buddy.
Author of The Road to the Dark Tower, Stephen King: A Complete Exploration of His Work, Life, and Influences and The Dark Tower Companion. Co-editor with Stephen King of the anthology Flight or Fright.
Very cool inscription. I've said this before, but its worth stating again (at least to me) that I met Warren Zevon before he reached fame. I heard Werewolves of London before it was even released! That and a few other songs as well! All on the island of Kauai in 1977 I think.
