Man on Fire.
Has the novel been adapted into a film?

The novel was, with many changes (none for the better), adapted into a movie very soon after its publication.

Is the author one who is now known for working with numerous "co-writers"? (Eye roll included with sarcastic tone.) ;)

There have certainly been co-writers for recent novels. I think you're onto this dog-loving author!
In the novel in question, there are references to a very famous cartoon character.

G'day, Tobyone,

Sorry, Tobyone, not Cujo.
The dog is a hero.

I'll take the blatant hint and guess "It".

Which doesn't have a dog as a hero. Withdrawing that embarrassing flub. :)

Where the Red Fern Grows?
No clue how soon after being written the movie was made, and I can't think of a cartoon character reference, but, you know.

would it be guy that seems to write a book every week, James Patterson?

None of the foregoing.
The novel was published in 1987, the author's first novel was published in 1968.
The author (who isn't Stephen King) had a very unhappy childhood.

Dean Koontz' "Watchers" seems promising.

Spot on, salami_swami. Watchers is a fascinating story; I cried for the "Outsider".
What book are you?

Dean Kootz is great all around. ;)
I am a 21st century non-fiction novel.

I haven't been able to get on for awhile (coming back over the Atlantic now) but just wanted to say I LOVED "Watchers". I still think it's the best book he's written. What's the cartoon reference in it, though?

a wild stab:
"From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail" ?

"the one fantasy they most wanted to believe in, the fantasy they clung to the longest, was Mickey Mouse. They were enthralled by Mickey's adventures with his cartoon friends" (265-66).
No to the guess, by the way.
