Celebrated author and Twitter “virgin” Stephen King evidently couldn’t resist the sweet siren song any longer. Today, he cautiously stepped into the great unknown that is the Twitterverse:
My first tweet. No longer a virgin. Be gentle!

Don’t worry. Twitter’s a happy place!
@MegGardiner1 Yeah, it's me.

On Twitter at last, and can't think of a thing to say. Some writer I turned out to be.
