Wesley King: Hi. This is Wesley King. When it comes to my name, the main thing I get from most readers is the constant question of am I related to Stephen King, which I am not, unfortunately. But that seems to be a popular question, and it's actually been pretty lucky for me since I happen to slip in next to him on certain bookshelves.
Wesley was actually a name, to my mom, from a TV show. I was named after a character from Richer or Poorer. And of course I've grown up with various iterations of Leslie. My German family calls me Vesley because "W" doesn't really exist in that language. So I've been all kinds of things.
